Minister of Hacienda Vicente Bengoa says that the government's payroll has remained at the same level. He justified this by saying that the payroll was comparable to that of 2008, when there was a 15% wage increase for employees who make RD$30,000 or more per month. He added that this administration has been prudent in its work and is committed to increased transparency.
