Santo Domingo.- A mind boggling 325 deputy ministers currently get a check from the various Government agencies, a figure which the bill on Statutory Law on Public Administration would trim to 25, as well as cut the more than 20 Cabinet level ministers “without portfolio” to three.
The initiative yesterday received the support of leaders of the two major opposition parties, ex president Hipólito Mejía, and PRSC interim president Joaquin Ricardo, who agreed that the number of public servants needs to be regulated.
Mejía called the number of advisers, deputy ministers and ministers without portfolio excessive because in his view the country pays out an enormous amount of funds that can be allocated to solve problems such as electricity.
He said if the designation of ministers without portfolio continues, president Leonel Fernandez will have to hold Cabinet meetings in a baseball stadium. In that regard, Ricardo affirmed that the PRSC would support all the initiatives aimed at reducing government spending and payroll, with only those people who carry out a productive function in the Dominican State.

These parents must begin a concentrated effort to impose parental authority on their children and cease the ultra permissive manner which they currently using.
In addition, they, as parents, must insist that the teachers in the schools, both private and public, offer QUALITY education instead of the current manner in which that education is carried out.
To begin this effort, the schools must be purged of the mediocre teachers which currently occupy those positions in theeducation environment. They must go to the schools and critically observe the manner in which the instruction is carried out and impose THEIR authority upon theAdministration to focus on QUALITY instead of the mediocrity that currently exists.
Additionally, these parents must instill in their children the necessity of putting forth the effort ofweeding out those in government who are at fault.

BS. Dominicans will say anything without embarrassment.
That because they live in a perpetual Ground Hogs day.
The next day is a new world and yesterday is forgotten.
I do not care if they pass the law and write it in blood, these cockroaches will just still it another way.
Remember the DR-CFTA and the zero (0) import tax after 5 years. All they added was registration fee of the same percentage. What a bunch of scum bags.
Politics in the dr is the best chance a man has to become wealthy... I applaud this bill!
