Abstract

Este documento describe los antecedentes y la historia de la concepción, discusión y aprobación por parte del Congreso colombiano de las leyes de servicios públicos (leyes 142 y 143 de 1994). Existe un amplio consenso de que estas leyes crearon las condiciones institucionales y económicas para avanzar en la solución de la aguda carencia de acceso a agua potable, electricidad, gas y telefonía en los hogares colombianos que existía antes de la década de los anos noventa. De hecho, el notable aumento de la cobertura de los servicios públicos a lo largo de los últimos veinticinco anos es un testimonio del beneficio de las reformas promulgadas en 1994. Es también un ejemplo de cómo, con pragmatismo, el país pudo resolver un problema social serio dentro del marco de los procedimientos democráticos y una amplia deliberación.
