The legislator or legislators may attach to the accusation all the evidence they consider relevant, without prejudice to requesting or producing other evidence during the accusation process. Art. 88.- The President of the National Congress or whoever subrogates him must as a matter of obligation, after the indictment is received, without further processing, and within a period not greater than three days, shall forward the accusation, with the evidence attached, to the Committee on Oversight and Political Review, and with that shall notify the accused official.

Art. 90.- During the term indicated in the previous article, the accused public servant may exercise his or her defense before the Committee on Inspection and Political Control, orally or in writing, and the accusing legislator or legislators shall act with the same right. The Committee on Inspection and Political Control, at the petition of a party, may grant an additional term of five days for the purposes of producing all the evidence. Once it has passed, within five days, with no extension, it would forward all the proceedings to the President of the National Congress. Art. 91.- In the five days subsequent to the lapsing of the last term indicated in the previous article, the accusing legislator or legislators may propose the motion of censure to the National Congress through the Presidency.

Art. 93.- The date for calling a special session for acting on the censure motions may be extended for up to 60 additional days by the President of the National Congress, upon written request by 10 legislators. 71 Law 139, Official Gazette, Supplement http://www.oas.org/juridico/spanish/mesicic2_ecu_Annex32.pdf. 862 of January 28, 1992.
