Roberto Rosario, Julio Cesar Castaños, Mariano Rodriguez, Carmen Leyda Piña.
Santo Domingo.- Four ex Electoral Board (JCE) judges who currently hold government posts on Tuesday requested the suspension of their pension until they cease their current functions.
The unprecedented request also comes in the heels of ruling PLD party deputies spokesman Gustavo Sanchez’s announcement to renounce to two of the four tax waivers for luxury vehicles assigned by the Chamber of Deputies, as a way to support president Danilo Medina’s announced austerity plan.
JCE president Roberto Rosario said his former colleagues’ request was processed and immediately suspended.
The first to give up the double paycheck was former JCE president Julio Cesar Castaños, who currently holds the vice-presidency of the Supreme Court.
Current Superior Electoral Court president Mariano Rodriguez, Constitutional Court Judge Carmen Piña, and Internal Taxes Agency Legal Adviser Roberto Rodriguez also renounced their pensions.
The number of officials who’ll renounce embarrassing pensions or perks is expected to grow, in the wake of Medina’s firing of Haivanjoe Ng as Comptroller Genera last week.
Crusade
A group of deputies of the various parties on Tuesday launched a “legislative crusade” for transparency in the pension plans of all government agencies.

Not good enough to give up their ill gotten pension - they lack integrity and work against the better good of the country and should be fired

It is the Duty of every Dominican man and woman to get rid of this PURPLE Pestilence before we have no country left.
So my dear you can choose to be part of the problem or part of the solution; Margarita Fernandez or Minerva Mirabal, which will it be grasshopper or Butterfly, Ms. MONTILLA?
The ball is in your court!

There is brand new fashion sweeping the nation "pretending to have a conscience" and "attempting to have morels"
The new fad.
Pointing the finger at everyone and turning your self in before everyone finds out just how deep the hands go into the cookie jar...
If these people had a conscience or any morels, they wouldn't have taken these pension in the first place.. Just an attempt to look like they care, after the fact..
They took the pensions, they know they are double dipping, they should still be removed and pay back every cent..

Shame? They don't know the meaning of the word.
It's more like they are pissed that they got caught.

They are judges, or were judges. But the first thing you need, to be a judge, is integrety!
Who, therefore selected these judges? And does he have integrety?
Needs to be investigated first, and stripped of the pension while the investigation lasts.

These are all hand Picked Kangaroo Judges by Mr. Integrity himself, Narco Lie-onel. Who were appointed to the Kangaroo Courts he set up before he left, so the gang of 27 would never be brought to Justice for the 12 years of unprecedented Corruption they have wrought on the Dominican People!
From: Dominican Republic
I do think the country wants more than them just feeling shame!
Not just removed or having their pensions and double dipping aired in public.
They want justice!
They want to see these people pay for their crimes against the Dominican people and have ALL their assets stripped, other wise this will never stop!
No more slaps on the wrist and told not to do it again... Straight to Jail, do not pass go and never to collect a pension...
"suspension of their pension until they cease their current functions." Ahh NO! you signed yourself a double dip... you get nothing but a kick in the ass and a nice 8x6 cell. It's called fraud!

OK..........Haivanjoe Ng is one and 4 JCE judges that makes 5............a bad start but it is a start. Yet, how about the other 45,896 officials collecting pensions, double paychecks and kickbacks, what are they going to do about them?
This sounds to me like good PR for the PLD party doing this to get the population ready for the big bang tax package coming soon to your local theater. They are trying to tell us that we(PLD) are also suffering like the rest of you, feeling the pain of an economy in dire straits.
Yes they will suffer like us. I can hear them now, "how are we going to make payments on the Lexus and Mercedes".
