PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Pedro Pablo Kuczynski ? Embattled Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski  says  he  did "earn some money" as a result of services  his  private consulting firm provided to the Brazilian construction company entangled in Latin America's biggest corruption scandal.
In an hour-long interview with Peruvian media Sunday   Kuczynski  repeated earlier assertions that  he  had no involvement in the Westfield Capital firm when Odebrecht-led consortiums made $782 000 in payments over a decade ago.
But  Kuczynski  did acknowledge that as a shareholder in  the company   he  would have benefited from any profits that resulted.
Peru's congress has initiated impeachment proceedings against  Kuczynski  on grounds that  he  displayed "moral incapacity." Opposition lawmakers say Kuczysnki should have disclosed the payments.
 Kuczynski  was a government minister at the time some of the payments were made.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hung Phuoc Nguyen ? Objectively   the sketch is bad . The thick lines look like an inverted triangle with hair   or a strawberry wearing a tiny cap . The two dot eyes are inexplicably paired with horizontal lines and no eyebrows . There is only one ear . And yet   the Lancaster   Pa .  police say they have identified a suspect who they say pretended to be a farmers market worker before fleeing with cash Jan . 30   thanks to a witness who drew a picture from memory . The sketch was " amateurish and cartoonish  " local police said Wednesday in a Facebook post . But the sketch   along with a physical description of the thief   reminded at least one officer of an encounter with  Hung Phuoc Nguyen   44  . Police then showed the witness photos of possible suspects   including  Nguyen  . The witness identified  Nguyen    and police issued a warrant for two counts of theft . Officer William Hickey of the Lancaster police told The Washington Post on Thursday that he did not know whether  Nguyen  was apprehended . The police have insisted that the sketch was a serious effort to find the suspect . " We released all of those details together in our police log in the hope that someone recognizes the suspect  " Lancaster city police said in a Facebook post   according to Lancaster Online . " This was not done in jest ." The outlet described Nguyen as homeless . In an age of omnipresent surveillance video   the police sketch quietly endures . More departments are opting for software that can spit out composite photos   but departments will sometimes share artists with nearby cities that have modest personnel budgets . " Technology and machinery is cold  " Wayne Promisel   a detective with the Loudoun County Sheriff ' s Office in Virginia and a former Fairfax County police detective   told The Washington Post in 2013 . " It is also missing the ability to ask the questions in a certain way in an interview while having a sense of compassion " for victims . Speaking about the witness   Hickey said : " We appreciated their effort and continued cooperation . People like that make our job easier [ and ] more enjoyable ." But there are currently no plans to offer the witness a position as a sketch artist   he said .
