Another corruption scandal

[NewsWhore]

Nuria Piera's Saturday show featured another case of blatant corruption in government. This time, she focused on the director of the Blackout Reduction Program (PRA) Marcos Lara Lorenzo, who has been in the post for six months. The PRA is a government program aimed at reducing consumer electricity fraud. Diario Libre gives front page coverage to the investigative report, revealing that the PRA payroll includes several of Lara's relatives, that funds were used for religious and political projects, and the existence of a RD$45,000 monthly paycheck to the director's ex-wife. Piera revealed that he has appointed more than 30 members of the church he founded at the end of 2007. The PRA is a dependency of the CDEEE. Lara argues that he made the appointments so that he would have people he trusted at his side.
