=== Bribery scandal ===
Carlos Moreno served as [[Presidential Adviser]] on [[Health|health issues]] since the beginning of the government. He was, apparently, a very trustworthy person of Kuczynski. So, when he resigned on 4 October 2016, he caught the attention of the media. Kuczynski said at first that the resignation of his advisor was due tofor personal reasons and his heavy workload. However, Moreno himself explained that the reason was because they had recorded their conversations in the [[Government Palace (Peru)|Government Palace]] and that they were involved in a [[Corruption|corruption case]].<ref name=":25">{{Cite news|url=https://elcomercio.pe/politica/gobierno/negociazo-carlos-moreno-sacude-gobierno-ppk-268693|title=El 'negociazo' de Carlos Moreno sacude al gobierno de PPK|last=Elcomercio.pe|first=Redacción|date=10 October 2016|website=El Comercio|language=es|access-date=9 February 2019}}</ref>
 
On 9 October, the television program Cuarto Poder broadcast an [[Sound recording and reproduction|audio]] in which Moreno commented on negotiation for a clinic to sign an agreement with the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lima|Archbishopric of Lima]] and, thus, be able to access an agreement to serve patients insured in the System Integral de Salud (SIS). "It's the negotiation, I have the people who do it, I have the patients," Moreno said, as heard in the audio record. "That is our mine. You do not know how much money we are going to win," he added. Although Moreno was separated from the government as soon as the "negotiation" was exposed, the scandal shook an administration that was barely three months since initiation.<ref name=":26">{{Cite news|url=https://elcomercio.pe/politica/gobierno/audio-moreno-negociazo-pacientes-268161|title=Audio de Moreno: "Es el negociazo, yo tengo a los pacientes"|last=Elcomercio.pe|first=Redacción|date=8 October 2016|website=El Comercio|language=es|access-date=9 February 2019}}</ref>
