Santo Domingo.- The Justice and Transparency Foundation (FJT) on Tuesday reiterated its concern over the large number of contracts via government agencies seek to enter into deals by conducting “rushed” call for tenders and in many cases in violation of Law 340-06 on Purchases and Contracts.
FJT president Trajano Vidal announced that the watchdog organization will serve notices to challenge those agencies which in his view have illegally made calls for tenders, and warned that the officials could face court cases.
In the FJT’s second warning on “rushed deals,” Vidal advised the people who take part in tenders to be aware that either the new Administration or the courts may cancel the results.

"tenders to be aware that either the new Administration or the courts may cancel the results."
Lets just hope that these aren't empty words, hope they follow through to prosecute and cancel contracts of those found to be violating Law.
The rush is designed to get questionable deals in under the haze of a change in government.
Speaking of PURPLE HAZE............. Sorry Jimmy H!
“That the new government will do a Tax Reform?”
“What do you eat that with?”
"Tax reform: Between ignorance, fear and distrust"
"The most optimistic argue that new President Danilo Medina, who will begin his term on 16 August, will know what to do to not harm the poor."
Most don't know what it is, but express and associates it with more taxes on their shoulders.
See the video at:
¿Qué nuevo gobierno hará una reforma fiscal ¿Con qué se come eso?
Reforma fiscal: Entre el desconocimiento, el temor y la desconfianza
Los más optimistas sostienen que el nuevo presidente Danilo Medina, que empezará su mandato el 16 de agosto, sabrá qué hacer para no perjudicar a los más pobres.
La mayoría no sabe de qué se trata, pero expresa y la asocia a más impuestos sobre sus hombros.

It wouldn't be worth much anyway!
Dominican Kleptocracy 101
“Perhaps the most puzzling feature of kleptocracies, illustrated by the examples from the Congo, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, or Haiti, is their longevity, despite the disastrous policies pursued by the rulers.2 This longevity is made even more paradoxical by the fact that such regimes apparently lacked a political base (a
core constituency) that supported them.
Despite the absence of formal institutional mechanisms for deposing unpopular rulers, constraints on the behavior of rulers exist even in weakly-institutionalized societies (e.g., the threat of revolution, or competition from other strongmen). Why do, then, the heavily taxed producers or the poverty-stricken citizens not replace the kleptocrat?
Why do they rarely form an effective opposition constraining the kleptocrat? How can a regime that apparently benefits nobody outside of the narrowest of cliques survive?
continiued:
"Our basic answer is that this is because the absence of strong institutions allows rulers to adopt political strategies which are highly effective at defusing any opposition to their regime.”

he's trying to get those last contracts in .danilo please do not let this happen.
Speaking of Rushed Deals:
Nuria WINS!
Haiti cancels ALL but 2 NO BID Contracts.
Lie-onel and Félixx Bautista re going to be very Upset!
“voted in favor of the unilateral cancellation of the contracts"
"The case of the suspect contracts to rebuild Haiti"
“In support of a proposal submitted by the first Minister Laurent Lamothe on a case that rocked the political life of Haiti, a special Council of Ministers decided on Monday withdraw all contracts awarded to Dominican companies, except for two: one, concerning the reconstruction of the Parliament, and the other, initially dedicated to the rehabilitation of the former aviation sector, it was reassigned to other projects”
It appears as if Haiti has more commitment to fighting Corruption and Transparency than Lie-onel Fernandez and his Purple Mafia in DR!
