The city of São Desidério, in western Bahia, renegotiated the fees for artists hired for this year's June festivities following a recommendation from the Public Ministry of the State of Bahia (MP-BA). The information was released on Friday (12). According to prosecutor Demétrius Ferraz e Silva, the contracts of the band Companhia do Calypso and singers Léo Magalhães, Thiago Jhonathan and Caninana had their values ​​reduced or duly justified by the municipal administration. According to the information presented to the MP-BA, in most cases the adjustments remained close to the inflationary update measured by the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA), with percentages below 15%. 📲 Click here and join the g1 Bahia WhatsApp group "The only exception, so far, is the hiring of singer Yasmin Sensação. The contract, which had been identified as having a value significantly higher than the reference parameters, remains under discussion between the parties", highlighted the prosecutor. According to the prosecutor, the recommendation was issued by the MP-BA due to signs of incompatibility between the values ​​contracted by the Municipality and the criteria defined in Joint Technical Note No. 01/2026, prepared by the MP-BA, the State Audit Court (TCE) and the Municipal Audit Court (TCM). ‼️ The document instructed public managers to demonstrate the compatibility of fees with market prices, using as a reference the contracts made in the previous year, updated by the IPCA. In the recommendation, the MP-BA also requested the submission of bidding non-requirement processes related to artistic contracts, in addition to the presentation of justifications for possible non-compliance with the criteria set out in Joint Technical Note nº 01/2026; and guided the publication of all contracts in the National Public Procurement Panel (PNCP). The measure is part of the state body's actions to monitor public spending carried out during the June festivities, with a focus on transparency, economy and the appropriate application of public resources allocated to hiring artistic attractions.
