Santo Domingo.- Economy minister Temistocles Montas is the latest senior ruling PLD party official to join the row around the controversial tenure of State-owned power utility (CDEEE) Celso Marranzini, who in his view put a halt to the " disorder" in the agency.

But Marranzini has butted heads with members of the PLD’s top echelon, the Political Committee, including the utility’s former CEO Radhames Segura and Insurance superintendent Euclides Gutierrez, and as recent as last week with Santo Cristobal senator Tommy Galan.

In response to Galan’s questioning of a US$500.0 million bond to allocate to the CDEEE, Montas said the lawmakers were aware that what had been budget for the utility, in the end wouldn’t be enough.

As the August 16 date for president elect Danilo Medina’s inaugural nears, the talk centers on his close collaborator and former head of the electricity distributor EDEESTE, Ruben Bichara, as one of Marranzini’s possible replacements.

Medina- stay the course. Do the right thing and let Celso solve this problem. This is not the time to backtrack.

Why is Segurra even in the conversation? The guy was outed as corruped 2nd grade educated baffoon who didn't have the mental capacity to run a circus.

Celson has done a great job since taking over a government entity that was in complete ruins when he took over. Let the man do his job.

Radhames Segura is a transparent corrupt moron.

He had extremely inflated consultant fees, hundreds of 'no show' jobs, nepotism that was rampant and many more infractions.

He should be in jail.


If you let ANYONE, but Celso, run the electrical sector, you Dominicans should be ashamed and embarrassed.

Cacique as usual is right on.......
Celso is toast and he knows that the ax is coming, so he is trying to favor some buddies before then.
