He should define corruption so that the debate could have a starting point. In the process he should explain to all, the source of his meteoric rise in wealth since he became president, with his salary and perks.

Hello my fellow idiots.
Please beleive me that I am commited against corruption.

BS.

Structured corruption? No.

A blind eye to corruption committed by fellow party members? Just look at what is happening.

What we really need is some law enforcement and some punishment for those found in violation of the laws, instead of the coddling and impunity that he practices. He believes that the people are so stupid that they will believe him and tolerate more of his abuse. Since we are talking about an uneducated and uninformed populace (thanks to his policies) he is probably right.

What nerve this charlatan has. He is full of you know what.

Question: How can you tell LF is lieing?

Answer: His lips are moving.

uneducated and illiterate.

LOL, like the the PLD isn't organized and isn't endemically corrupt. Where did we find this dope?

LF, is an empty suit, myopic moron.

The ultimate in 'Groundhogs Day" mentality. He wakes up every morning as though yesterday NEVER happened.

LF should not be president, he is a shameless liar moron.

It is up to each of us to be a honorable, well-minded, moral, etc. Person (!)

If we do not change ourselves our society would never change either !!!

Now Leonel don't go out giving ideas to our already corrupted politicians.

Next thing you know they will introduce a law to support victims of being caught while committing corruption activities .

I wonder what the name would be for such a state department.

- Institucion Dominicana de corruptos en peligro. or INDOCOPE for short
with a slogan that says : Corruptos hasta que la muerte los separe!

LF, here you stupid screw, do something before tomorrow before you forget.

The Santiago Mayor’s Office today filed charges of “prevarication, embezzlement, conspiracy, fraud, money laundering and breach of trust against former mayor Jose Enrique Sued and other City Council ex officials.

He burned all of his public documents... WHICH HAS TO BE AGAINST A LAW.... to hide his corruption.

"Dominican President again denies structured Government corruption"

HOGWASH !!!!!!! The dude knows exactly what is going on and attempts to plead ignorance as the perfect excuse to wash his hands of all the corruption in government. He is simply playing the game of politics. If he goes after his political cronies in an attempt to eliminate corruption, it is a sure death sentence, the end of his political career. These dirty bastards are the ones who help him get and stay in power to create the perfect environment that would facilitate the misappropritation of government funds as they spend public money. The DR gov't is suppose to encouraged administrative transparency. However, there often is no clear delineation of when an appointment to office is a result of "cronyism." It is precisely for this reason that Leonel successfully obtained and achieve his position — It is a tough cookie to crack, because cronyism is easier to perceive than to demonstrate and prove.

Hey, shit for brains, LF.

Retired colonel held in RD$50M fraud against Baltimore's Julio Lugo.

This is pathological government corruption.

Dumb ass. Does nothing you say embarrass you. Was a moral conscience bred out of you or were you just born that way?

If the President spends more time in the country he will see the corruption. His (LF) way of dealing with the issue is to have his "gumbas" (gangster types) to intimidate the media and have them go out of business, as we've seen with the recent attempted assignation on a high profile media executive from Clave.

The word is spreading through the US that makes up 33% of tourism revenue for Dominican Republic.

hbzeno, you are absolutely correct.

He has to stay in the country much more AND pull his head out of his ass.

"No structured corruption".

So much for distinguishing.

Now, disorganized crime is crime nonetheless. Making yourself the Chivo loco is no defense.

It just makes you look that way. Chivo Loco????

Hmmmm...not one bit

Corruption is the way of life in the D.R. It is the way to survive. Small-time crooks and big-time crooks are all the same. Some live in poverty day-to-day, and some wear silk suits. Only the size of their deeds separate them. The rich get richer through corruption and the poor crook continues to struggle to survive. A great facade is created with tourism - but the country 'runs' on paolas and corruption from deep in its bowels. The uneducated are kept surpressed and government, along with the rich, continue to rape the country. The poor turn to crime as a matter of existence.

i ike leonel as a president, but corruption its something you cant hide! its there and you know it!

What a load of crap. All this says is LF must be involved. When EVERYONE around you is a corrupt thief and you look the other way you are GUILTY as well. The highest ranking official in the country stands by and refuses to protect the people who elected him?

No hay mas ciego que el que no quiere ver.

Gmiller, Liarnel is that way because he had too many whiffs from the stuff he was selling back in NY.

LF please you should be shame of your self for saying that. I started to beliabe that you're part of

them, if not already are. Oh forgot LF don't watch TV he doen't have the time to see the real

problems, he is to busy mediating for others country problems,, Instead of focusing on his on first,,,,,,,,

y eh pa lante k ban,,,,, Morron........
