PERU: Humala struggles to set the agenda
President Ollanta Humala is fighting to regain his footing in the midst of a tide of adverse publicity surrounding his second Vice-President Omar Chehade.

Humala has expressed his full support for investigations into Chehade’s alleged influence-peddling [WR-11-42]. He seems intent on sending a powerful message not just to the public about the sincerity of his intentions to combat corruption in public life but also to cabinet ministers that he will not turn an indulgent eye to such things.
