Santo Domingo.- The business leader Manuel Corripio on Wednesday said president Danilo Medina has earned the right to implement the bill for the tax reform because, among other things, has shown a willingness toward rational in spending, and for transparency by revising provisions such as the Foreign Service payroll.

"After all the government needs more funds, and the population will demand that it does so. And doing more requires more resources, and I think in that manner president Danilo Medina’s government has earned the right for the reform to take effect," he said.

Corripio, after a meeting with executives who announced the grand opening of the Sambil Mall, said the tax reform is needed but notes that some changes must be done still.

He reiterated that the Government has shown signs of rational spending and notes transparency in the Public Works Concessions Law; government  payrolls in important agencies, where only six deputy ministers were designated in each. “In short, issues of transparency such as the allocation of quotas to import agricultural products."
