Santo Domingo.- Pensions superintendent Joaquin Geronimo yesterday asked the officials who currently receive a pension to renounce them while they hold any public office.

He said the Pensions Superintendence (Sipen) and the Office of the Comptroller launched a probe of all state agencies to recover those funds saved in the supplementary pension plans.

"The Pensions Superintendence calls on all government employees and officials who enjoy a state pension and returned to working life in the State to take steps to comply with the provisions of paragraph 11 of the 379 lay - 81 and suspend the exercise of the same while in the performance of their duties," says the statement s by the Sipen, quoted by newspaper Listin.

Geronimo said pension fund insurance plans (AFP), Finance Ministry, Dominican Social Security Institute (IDSS) or other existing social plans are not at risk.

Sipen’s decision seeks to comply with recently issued Decree 616-12, aimed at preventing misuse of taxpayers for supplementary pension plans, which is widely known as “double dipping.”

How about the earnings created from double dipping, like interest gained, the cars, the homes and jewelry, the countless trips taken and businesses? Bring their net worth back down to what it was when they had FIVE years as a civil servant to the state. Let them do it voluntarily or risk a full out FREEZE on the accounts of the entire family and jail time for those that was found to be an accomplice in hiding/holding stolen funds from the government.

Whatever happened to hiring governmental employees based on their professional merit that were proven by competitive examinations. This would have never happened if (Woody Wood Pecker)we hired honest educated people that are capable of taking placement test for the position.

Also, How about raising the income for all new comers taking the placement test, they do say " You Get What You Pay For ". And, for the ones that complied, give them 12 months probational period, let them earn our monies.......

Dr. Dread,

Any single one of the Scandals that have broken out since August 16, 2012 would have been enough to at least launch a major investigation in most countries world!

Or at minimal some type of Knagroo Legislative review!
