Much has been made about the projected cost of the planned constitutional reform process, and Hoy is reporting that it will cost an estimated RD$400 million per month, which will be covered by the government. The newspaper, quoting anonymous sources, reports that the Senate is expected to spend RD$1.48 billion while Congress is expected to spend RD$3.4 billion during the next 12 months. This would total RD$4.88 million over the coming year. Hoy explains that these figures do not include any funds spent on the process to date and do not include money spent on organizing meetings, payment for military personnel or security.
