Santo Domingo.- Several personalities have proposed shuttering the Government’s Anti-corruption Department (DPCA) as inoperative and a burden on taxpayers.

Guillermo Moreno, president of the political movement Alianza Pais, yesterday suggested that the Justice Ministry investigate the cases of corruption, because "it doesn’t make any sense to maintain such an agency which doesn’t have any use."

The radio producer Ramon Colombo also weighed in on the controversy unleashed by Anticorruption Agency director Hotoniel Bonilla, who on Monday admitted the Justice Ministry’s failure in the war on corruption.

“What he should do is resign, he’s not there to make denouncements. Proceed,” Colombo said on Monday in the 91.3 FM morning radio talk show.

Our biggest problem right now is corruption. If it was dealt with properly a lot of our other problems would be either much smaller or gone as well. The only way for us to make a dent in the corruption problems though is to have new leadership that actually goes after and punishes corrupt officials. We simply don't have that with LF as he sits by and watches the head of national police in bed with known drug dealers and does nothing. He should be ashamed of his lack of leadership and resign. Now the corrupt officials seek to silence the media for showing how they are robbing us blindly and keeping us in the dark literally so they can further rob us.

It's not that the DPCA has failed, there's no question that it's not effective, but it's that it was set up for failure from the beginning. It has a staff of 4, including Hotoniel! Does that make ANY sense to anyone? It has a shoe sting budget with which it cannot conducted the in-depth investigation that it needs to, in order to prosecute crimes.

so the DPCA was a failure before it began, b/c the Gov was never serious about providing the needed supplies to help it succeed.
