Chanchamayo, Peru: Government Employees Found Drunk on the Job The quiet town of Chanchamayo, Junin, Peru, was recently rocked by a scandal involving employees of the Pichanaki Agrarian Office. A viral video shows several employees in various states of intoxication during working hours. Some were asleep at their desks, others were behaving erratically. The video quickly gained traction online, sparking outrage and calls for accountability. "It's lamentable," stated a local resident who wished to remain anonymous, referring to the video.

They released an official statement confirming the incident and announcing the opening of an administrative and disciplinary investigation.
