Eliminating "ghost NGOs"

[NewsWhore]

The Bicameral Commission for the Transfer of Funds at the National Congress wants to stop funding non-governmental organizations (NGOs) run by high-ranking politicians. The Commission describes 389 of these organizations as "ghost NGOs". El Caribe reports that the Commission met on Wednesday to discuss the issue and would only transfer RD$162 million to the NGOs if it was determined that the work they were doing was necessary. If the NGOs aren't recognized, the funds will be transferred to organizations like the UASD, Corazones Unidos and the Dominican Cardiology Institute.
