Santo Domingo.- The Vice-president Executive of the prestigious Institutionalism and Justice Foundation Tuesday warned president Leonel Fernandez to place attention on the acts of corruption taking place in his Administration.
Servio Tulio Castaños said what’s happening in some government agencies is incredible, and mentioned the latest corruption scandals in the Blackout Reduction Program (PRA) and the Technical Land Transport Office (OTTT).
The Finjus executive, interviewed in the Channel 4 program “Afternoon Court” by Julio Martinez Pozo, Dionisio Santana and Mildred Charlot, said more attention must be paid to the corruption taking place in government agencies.
Fernandez, who’s first term in office (1996-2000) stood out for the lack of scandals, has seen his prestige falter from the numerous scandals that have dogged his second (2004-2008) and current terms.

It appears that swine flu of another sort is alive and well at the CDEEE.
Let’s see what the maximum swine in charge L. F. does about this.
In any other place this would be enough to bring down the government.
100 +% increase in cost with an ever decreasing service is outrageous!

CDEEE salaries quadrupled
In August 2004, the state-owned electricity businesses employed a total of 5,802 people. This amount had climbed to 8,862 by February this year, meaning that around 3,000 employees joined the government electricity department. Hoy reports that the monthly payrolls totaled RD$84 million in August 2004 and in February this year they were RD$422 million, around five times as much.
Recently, investigative TV journalist Nuria Piera reported on inflated payrolls, nepotism and mismanagement at the Blackout Reduction Program (PRA), one of the dependencies of the CDEEE.

The CDEEE also oversees the two electricity distributors, Ede-Norte and Ede-Sur, which are now operated by the government.
The number of employees of the CDEEE, EGEHID, UERS, and PRA went from 2,574 in August 2004 to 4,629 in February 2009, an increase of 2,055 people, or a 79.84% increase.
Meanwhile, Ede-Norte and Ede-Sur went from 3,228 employees to 4,233, a 31.13% increase.
The increase in employees of CDEEE, EGEHID, UERS, and PRA represented an increase in the payroll of RD$256 million, or a 656% increase from August 2004.
At Ede-Norte and Ede-Sur, the payrolls increased from RD$45 million in 2004 to RD$127 million in 2009, a 182% increase.

Business sectors have called for a removal of the government electricity team, deeming their efforts have been inefficient at solving supply and price issues.
You have been missed - welcome back.
ALL of the people at the CDEEE should go.
Dominicans, shameless, transparent entitled corruption.
Grow up.
