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.
