More fine dining, more corruption...
SANTO DOMINGO.- A luncheon menu featuring spinach-stuffed fillet, pudding for dessert and Protos wine vintage 2007, was the media directors’ enticement to hear president Leonel Fernandez talk about corruption today.
Pimentos and goat cheese, au gratin potatoes and carrots, vegetables and Lovasco wine vintage 2008 rounded out the menu
Fernandez arrived at the salon accompanied by the Presidency’s Chief of staff Cesar Pina and other officials, mostly from the judicial area.
“A bribe is theft; a subtraction of public funds is theft. That’s not what is being talked about in the country,” Fernandez said at the start of the luncheon.
Attending the luncheon were the media directors Miguel Franjul, Listin; Julio Hazím, Revista 110; Radhamés Gómez Pepín, Nacional; Osvaldo Santana, CDN; Felipe Mora, Caribe; Adriano Miguel Tejada, Libre; Fausto Rosario, Clave; Enmanuel Castillo, Información; Nelson Marrero, Hoy; Cristián Jiménez, Hoy Mismo; Danny Alcántara, Canal 5, amomg others.

Minister to audit CDEEE personnel
Public Administration Minister Ramon Ventura Camejo said yesterday that nepotism is a serious mistake that breaks the law and called for disciplinary sanctions for anyone who engages in this practice.
Diario Libre says that as he was questioned about possible nepotism in the Dominican Corporation of State-owned Electricity Enterprises (CDEEE), Ventura Camejo said that he would meet with its executives in order to devise an audit of the personnel who work there. "It has been established that our Ministry will proceed to work with the institution and revise the procedures that are set out in the Law of Public Operations.
The official pointed out that the cases where there is proof of corruption should be taken to court.

He maintained that the entity he directs is working on a data processing package that will make personnel recruitment for public office workers more transparent and allow the identification of ties between the hires and the officials.
Ventura Camejo was taking part in a seminar with human resource directors, and he called on public institutions to become part of the new system, as the Ministry of Public Health has done.
Recent TV investigative journalism shows by Alicia Ortega and Nuria Piera have presented evidence of widespread nepotism in government departments.

They used monies that I gave them to pay the outrageous taxes to pay for that fine meal and I am furious.
You can be sure that from not one of these "journalists" will you hear a peep about corruption. He is right, a bribe is a theft and LF has stolen our money to buy these people's silence with a meal. A cheap bribe, but a bribe nonetheless.

They could have had this meeting with some empanadas and country club soda. Same results would come out of there.
