Santo Domingo. – There are Government officials who make 8 times as much as a colleague of the same category, a severe distortion of salary scales long recognized in the public sector.
The bizarre disparity is such that the salaries of several ministers, and other heads of departments are several times higher than that of the President himself.
One example is the Tourism minister who makes RD$75,000 monthly; his colleague in Foreign Relations earns RD$300,000, compared with the President’s 90,000.
A study by the civic movement Citizen Participation (PC) quoted by eldia.com.do reveals that 10 different wage scales among the top officials in 18 ministries, from a low of the Land Transit Agency director’s RD$60,000, to the Internal Taxes chief’s more than half s million.
The list
The president of the Dominican Telecomm Institute (Indotel) earns a whopping RD$515,506 per month, but much lower than the Banks superintendent’s RD$1.5 million, which is more than the president of the world’s richest country, Barack Obama, whose paycheck equals RD$1.3 million per month.
Banks superintendent Haivanjoe NG Cortiñas’ salary is 11,800% higher than the minimum wage.

The bank chief "earns" almost $40.000USD per month! Wow!
That's $37.000 more than Leonel's salary!..Of course, that sum does not reflect the millions in "perks" the president gets!
I wondered why the president would allow for this gross imbalance, and it dawned on me that the bank thief, er,. chief, has to be paid for his silence in allowing the treasury to be plundered!
Holy fat pigs,...We're being fleeced in newfangled ways!

Now let sit tigh and see what Danilo is going to do, there are words on the street that says that when Danilo was Secretario tecnico de la presidencia things used to run a lot more better than after he left office, hopefully he will not be the guy with a lot of empty campaign promises for the best of the country.

Shame on the country to allow these people to continue the entitlement mentality, that once you have a government post you can do as you wish... Not just this government as we all know ..... for how long has this been going on and how long will the people keep allowing it ??
