During the second part of her investigative report aired on Channel 9 on Saturday, Nuria Piera admitted that she has been overwhelmed by the gravity of the scandal and the information she has received. Piera challenges Segura's defense that this scandal has surfaced as a result of business interests seeking to undermine the CDEEE.
Piera continued to reveal details of how the CDEEE payroll has continued to increase, despite financial difficulties that have forced a rates hike on consumers.
New are details on the 2,344-person and RD$11.5 million monthly payroll for distribution of low-wattage light bulbs, as reported in El Caribe. Following up on several names on the payroll, Piera found out that they had not even gone to work for months.
She also focused on the bloated military staff at the CDEEE, with its payroll of 593 people making RD$1.76 million a month, and the 228 staff members in the security department costing RD$3.1 million a month.
She also addressed the expenditures for food and told her audience that over a three-month period, the CDEEE had spent RD$1.2 more than the RD$7 million spent on food over the 2007-2009 period.
She questioned the RD$309 million spending on "other expenses", and the RD$188 million on advertising and propaganda.
She concluded that when one takes these payments into consideration, it is clear why the central government has to make major subsidies to the CDEEE. The CDEEE's budget is RD$17.7 billion, which is RD$4 billion over what was budgeted.
