Government appoints secretary and suspends in less than 24 hours – 01/24/2023 – Panel SA

In less than 24 hours, the Ministry of Civil Affairs appointed and then suspended the appointment of Hailton Madureira de Almeida to the position of national secretary for Housing at the Ministry of Regional Development.

The ordinance with the nomination of Almeida was signed on Friday (20), and the publication in the Official Gazette of the Union took place on Monday (23). In this Tuesday’s edition (24), however, Rui Costa suspended the appointment effects.

When contacted, Almeida said that the suspension was just an operational problem. He is a career servant of the Ministry of Finance and the assignment would need to be made before taking office in the new role. According to him, his position in office is maintained and the new nomination will be published in the coming days.

Acting in the Union since 2003, when he became auditor of finance and control of the National Treasury, Hailton held several positions. During the Dilma Rousseff administration, he worked with former Treasury Secretary Arno Augustin. He was also Secretary of Infrastructure Development at the Ministry of Planning from 2016 to 2018, under the Michel Temer administration. Under Jair Bolsonaro, he was executive secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
