Santo Domingo.- The Public Administration Ministry (MAP) warned the government agencies that  since the 120 day deadline for each ministry to reduce the number of its vice ministers to no more than six has expired, it shall notify the offices of the Controller and of the Budget to remove those posts from the payroll.

It said it will also notify Executive Branch on the maximum official number of vice ministers that each agency should have, which is six, as resolution 07-2012 states.

MAP minister Ramón Ventura Camejo states that every ministry is responsible for relocating those vice ministers they require.

As of yesterday Education, Interior and Police, Youth, Agriculture and Higher Education ministries had yet to submit the list of the vice ministers on their payrolls.

Of the total of 220 vice ministers, Sports and Public Health have 35 each, although the figures are higher given the titles of “undersecretary” which several ministries still employ.

The Treasury, MAP and Economy are the only ministries which comply with the law with three vice ministries each.

Audit, Audit, Audit, Audit, Audit.

And lets not forget to audit...

We are hearing a lot of talking but as yet to see any results, no news of people being stripped of posts, having assets seized, passports with held, fines or jail time...

Is talk and notifications all we will get???

why does the ministry of sport need 6 deputy ministers? heck, as was pointed out yesterday, the Chilean ministry of agriculture has ONE deputy minister, while the DR has 39. i wonder if Atabey understands that these activities drive up the GDP, making for rosy numbers, but are actually counter economic in terms of wealth creation, and productivity.

I am waiting to see this. Should it happen I would want this man elevated to corruption Czar.

Dready,
For every sacked vice-minister, they could employ 20 more police officers, or as Marley said,
"a score more sheriffs,"
"for the price of the deputy!"
