PRD secretary general Orlando Jorge Mera says that the President's suggested members for the Chamber of Accounts "reflects the clientelism resulting from the re-election pacts". Jorge Mera was speaking on the Rafael Molina Morillo morning talk show on 106.5FM. President Fernandez has presented a selection of 27 names, dominated by dissident politicians who backed his re-election aspirations. Dissident members of the PRSC party dominate the list.
The Chamber of Accounts' role is to audit government. The previous nine judges were dismissed and resigned in June after major irregularities were detected, and poor performance was found to be the norm. The nine judges receive one of the most attractive remuneration packages in the private and public sector.
The President's list includes Licelotte Marte de Barrios, Jose Heredia Corporan, Jose Nicolas Almanzar, Jorge Suncar, Ivan Rondon Sanchez, Pedro Ortiz, Pablo del Rosario, Jose Attias Juan and Juan Luis Seliman, among others. The term for the new judges would be through December 2010.
