Over 208 District Attorneys in the DR have yet to declare their assets, according to Diario Libre, and true to his word, Chamber of Deputies president Julio Cesar Valentin has ensured that the DAs in question have not been paid for the month of October. Attorney General Radhames Jimenez said that checks would be withheld until declarations were submitted. The Public Ministry said that 901 members had not declared their assets within the permitted timeframe, leading to calls by private and public officials for action to be taken. By last Thursday 461 had yet to file and early Monday morning 208 still hadn't submitted wealth declarations. The law stipulates that all public employees must submit declarations within 30 days after taking up office. First to present his declaration was President Leonel Fernandez who reported assets totaling RD$18 million.
