The Accounts Chamber judges. In insert, Jose A. Maceo: Altars will fall!
SANTO DOMINGO.- Accounts Chamber (CC) judge Jose Altagracia Maceo told lawmakers Tuesday that its audits can cause many of the country’s “respected altars” to fall, during the questioning in the Congressional probe, where a senior Deputy affirmed “more pus emanated.”
Ramon Rogelio Genao, spokesman of the opposition PRSC party’s deputies, said from the irregularities allegedly committed, it’s difficult to explain how 400 million pesos were spent on just 10 audits. “That shows the little rational use of taxpayers’ money.”
Yesterday CC president Andres Terrero admitted that the 70 percent of his personnel are deficient and lack the training to conduct audits, and affirmed that some results weren’t disclosed to prevent accusations of proceeding against a specific party amid the recent electoral campaign.
The questions began at 3 p.m. yesterday and concluded at 10:30 p.m., where Terrero, Henry Mejía and Juan A. Ruiz all reiterated they’ll not resign from their posts, alleging that the lack of communication had sparked their differences.
Meanwhile the PRD party’s deputies spokesman Christian Paredes said the differences between the CC’s members “bloomed again” during yesterday’s interrogation by the Lower Chamber Commission, which is expected to conclude its probe within 15 days.

What's hard to understand about spending $40,000,000RD on a few audits? A couple of million for each of these clowns and 100,000 to pay for the audit. And who knows how much they pay in public funds for their personal golf trainer. Do you realize that each of these inefficient guys gets more than $400,000 RD PER MONTH in salary? That's without perks

So, essentially, what I understand is that the CC is threatening the politicians in the "high alters" NOT to investigate them or else_... Shame shame shame.
Lets hope that those auditing the auditors are more honest than the auditors. That's a lot of faith to have.

I wont blame them, if checks and balances are not enforced and the chief executive officer of the country does nothing about it, I would stay too. These judges are clueless as to their job description, don't have the prerequisites and they get to steal tax payers money @ the same time, This is the job I want - and I qualify, can somebody give me an interview.
