L. Fernandez. F. Bautista.
Santo Domingo.- The State Works Engineer Supervisors Office (Oisoe) ballooned the budgets of at least 39 of the projects it contracted from 2005 to 2008, adding RD$6.5 billion to the original costs of RD$4.2 billion.
In a detailed report which cites a preliminary audit by the Accounts Chamber in 2009, newspaper Hoy said contracts had cost overruns as high as 1,473%, a percentage found in the budget to remodel the National Library, which ended up costing RD$1.3 billion more than the original RD$88.8 million.
Another ballooned budget was found in the reconstruction of the Mauricio Baez Civic Center, where RD$305.8 million were added to the original RD$52.7 million, or 579.89 percent higher.
The report also lists the works not yet to conclude in the Santo Domingo State University UASD, where RD$1.19 billion was added to the original RD$283.1 million, a 420.4% jump.
Hoy also reveals major cost overruns in the construction of the UASD’s administrative building, cafeteria and parking lots, and in the reconstruction of the Bellas Artes building.
The figures add to the allegations of corruption against one of president Leonel Fernandez’s closest collaborators, senator Felix Bautista, who was the head of the Oisoe during that period.

How stupid do you have to be to report this today?
Does NOTHING embarrass a Dominican?

At present the US House Finance committee is investigating the spending habits of Leonel and where he sent his monies. In due course all will come out. His wife is also on that list to show where a president goes into office and leaves years later a MULTI MULTI millionaire..... all in due course. Can't wait for the hammer to drop.

Basta,
The PLD supporters remind me of the cult "Heavens Gate" and leonel is Marshall Applewhite, everyone in the group had that empty stare when explaining how great Mr. Applewhite was and how he was going to take them to a far away land where everyone was like them on March 26, 1997 and that they would have to put on their uniforms consisting of jumpsuits and white sneakers then lay down and drink the interstellar travel potion.

Cost overruns seem to be more the rule than the exception for government projects around the world.
However nothing like 1,473% !
If some of these crooks finally get even part of the retribution they deserve, then maybe, just maybe, Danelo will deliver honest government, provided, of course, the unthinkable doesn't happen.

I really don't see how any other head of state can preside over more corruption than this one. The thing I just can not see around is how the dollar to peso stays level but during Hipo's reign it went totally out of whack. Loss of confidence or pissed the huge spoils were over.
