Oops! Congress forgot Ban Ki-moon speaks English

Santo Domingo.- Dominicans again laugh at their own foibles Wednesday as Congress forgot to hire translators for UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon’s speech in English, leaving most lawmakers looking at each other throughout.

Since only a few had access to translation, many legislators told reporters that they don’t know “for sure” what Ban had said in his speech.

The media also report inconveniences and disorganized protocol when they tried to enter the National Assembly Hall.
