How about the mayor of San Cristobal? It is common knowledge that Raul Mondesí can't even lie straight in bed, however he is still at the trough. He defrauded the electricity of one million pesos, so now he runs a petrol generator for his mansion, fueled by city hall.

This debaucher extraordinaire ex-Santiago mayor, should be put in a cage, along with now discredited (because he backed Hipoloco) Amable Aristy, the former cacique of the whole of Higuey province, who (still) rides in a multi million dollar helicopter bought with public funds.
Bet you that the fat pig doesn't show up in court, and disregards the subpoena.

Where is Super-Yenni when she's needed?

Yenni, Yenni, Yenni..!!

Here's another pig for you to roast! And while you're at it, lasso that other, what's-his-name mayor of Puto Plata who loves riding his SUV and shooting bullets at anyone who gets close..!!

It would be great if this guy got jail time and some of his ill-gotten resources handed back to the state. But that's unlikely to happen and Medina wont be making the call as this guy's future will be on LF's time clock.

Atabey. if there are any major changes to be made, it must start with a show of force.
Medina must send a strong message by prosecuting a few of these scoff-laws.!

Medina must seek backing from the US and Europeans. He must seek out the few honest citizens left in the country and put them in a position of power. He must then try to tame the military by trimming it, and getting rid of the obviously corrupt and criminals of every rank.

He has to command from a position of strenght with the backing of justice and foreign powers. If not, it'll be business as usual..sad.

@Roy

I am surprised to hear about Raul Mondesi.. wasn't this guy already a millionaire before coming into office? You would think that with that $$$ you wouldn't need to be corrupt to "become" rich.

String him up .....but first give him a fair trial?......and no more Crispy Cremes or Twinkies

Danilo Medina is taking on the task of leader of the DR with a weak and divided political opposition, and a tired and worn out electorate, that wants to see a change in the faces and actions of the new administration. The DR society wants a change in the status quo, at any price, and Danilo will be unwise not to listen to the desires of the population, that is tired of the same old corrupt faces.
His government will be walking the tightrope in the next few months, and will be judged swiftly, by the now extremely impatient masses that want change.
The DR military is a scam, and a paper tiger, after weeding out the useless members, all the "generals" should be downgraded to sargents or corporals, and sent to the border for real duty, along with the rest of the aimless military, rotten by the many perks that they enjoy.
Top rank should be coronel, limit one per each branch, and head of all branches should be a civilian technocrat.

Semper Fi

Morons.

How about the well documented and publicized burning of all his paperwork before leaving his post?

What else do you f…en need?

Blood brother Generoso, no forked tongue military, Dominican tribe only need police for sky, ocean and plains, Costa Rica tribe show path...Peace!

Cacique
Trujillo military is useless in DR and a black hole of money. National guard like Costa Rica composed of all three branches should suffice, stationed in the high drug traffic border areas and patrol boats in shallow beaches.
Armed forces syphon a good deal of the budget, to parade in independence day only, as they don't even enforce the border controls.
Brother Cacique, we would need a great warrior to clean this up, any suggestions?

Mr. Bonilla how is your investigation on Felix Bautista's suspicious overnight rags to riches story coming along?

Did Euclides Gutiérrez Felix pay his three million pesos light bill yet?

Nuria could you do an update?

I am very surprised that Veronica has not written here giving her praises for the action ..I agree completely with Generoso in his first message here .Aristy needs to be brought to account for his mishandling of all the funds that were suppose to go to local councils ..and hi non attendance in parliament is a disgrace ..I have not seen his helicoptor but he has his huge cars with security and probably knows his time is up

@Josean

That's the only names you know?
Why dont you talk about Quirino?
Felix calvo?
Larfeyna del extasis?
Pepe Goico?
Malkum?
El embajador chino?
the killer wanabe ( gomez Masara) ?
Pedro Franco badia?
Martin Oleo Abreu ( narco bodyguard of Hipo)?
Andres Carraman?


etc, etc, etc.. The List is WAY to long for this DT column!

The abbreviation for CORRUPTION is PLD!

This one is for you Roy!!!!!!!!!!!

“The devil and the press are guilty of corruption in the Vatican, according to Cardinal”

"Many newspapers play to imitate Dan Brown (author of the novel"The da Vinci Code")." Fables and legends are invented. "Everything is false and the truth is that there is a desire to divide that comes from the devil," he said

19 June 2012

City of the Vatican (EFE).- , Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, blamed the devil, writer Dan Brown and journalists for the scandals of corruption that have shaken the insides of the Vatican and all the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church.

Sued should also use the "Devil Made Me Do It Defense," he is a good catholic!

In other Hypocritical PLD corruption News:

"Time is up for ministries with excess deputies"

Despite a 120-day grace period, it is not known what steps some ministries have taken to reduce the number of "inorganic" deputy ministers. Ramon Ventura Camejo, the Minister of Public Administration (MAP), said yesterday that as the grace period is up, his ministry would proceed to make the necessary reductions, informing the Controller's office and the Budget office to remove the extra bureaucrats from the payrolls. The MAP will also be sending the Presidential Legal Counsel a list of the number of deputy ministers that each ministry is allowed to have, whether it is what is established by the organic law of the ministry or the six that was established by Resolution 07-2012.

continued:

As of yesterday, Monday 18 June, according to Hoy newspaper, the ministries of Education, Interior and Police, Youth, Agriculture and Higher Education had not submitted their lists of deputy ministers. The ministries of Environment, Public Works, Tourism, Public Health, Culture, Industry and Commerce, Foreign Relations, Presidency, Hacienda, Labor, Economy, Sports and Public Administration had delivered their proposals for reducing their extra bureaucrats.

As I was growing up in the early 60s, they used "saqueos" to strip such people of their valuables and their homes taken. However, since then, these politicians have gotten smarter; their kids study abroad; most of their money is locked overseas, and they own several homes in different parts of the world, primarily USA, Spain and other countries they frequently travel to. What needs being done is freezing all assets everywhere, strip them of all wealth and lock them up. Everyone within the realms of any government knows who is on the take, where the money is coming from and where is going. As they say, follow the money, if you dare... the problem is that the next person will only get wiser and design a new way to rob the country blind and get away with it. I would be surprised if the acting president lives to see another term. Perhaps he didn't really know what he was getting into. He wanted to wear the boots; then pull them by the straps and hold on tight, that bull will be BUCKING

Don’t worry about Danilo Medina he is a Made Man!

After trying to “Sow his Independent Oats” in 2008 he got his political ass kicked back in line. Lie-onel showed him who was the undisputed BOSS of the PLD MAFIA and he has been on his knees ever since.

The ultimate humiliation was imposing his Mad Hatter Wife as his VP.

So as long as he toes the party line i.e. Lie-onel’s Commands he will survive!

@Joseano


What do they mean when they will send AGAIN your best friend Pepe Goico to trial with charges of money laundry and drug charges?

That means that you are defending him because you are using "it".. right?

Poor loser!

Generoso,
my suggestion would clearly be anybody except a dominican

ScandiViking
I have some suggestions of my own, and PS they have to be Dominican nationals to be the secretary of the armed forces, but not necessarily military, once a civilian held that post.

Or a Haitian like you.

RD - the new Haiti.
