As the public outcry over the State-run Electricity Companies (CDEEE) nepotism and bloated payroll scandal continues, details are surfacing that are sure to stir up more anger and frustration. According to journalist Nuria Piera, who first broke the story, Radhames Segura's son's girlfriend is on the payroll. Piera reports that 24-year old Ingrid Graciano was being paid a salary of RD$90,000 per month for the post of financial analyst at the CDEEE public relations office. Also, it was revealed that the young woman had been issued a cedula identity card that doesn't correspond to her.
As she presented these latest details, Piera said that the young woman supposedly had a Masters degree. She told her audience that this has not been confirmed, and complained that apparently the connection to Segura's son had been key in getting the job.
Piera continued by stating that she tried to communicate with Graciano for over three hours, but a secretary informed Piera's investigative team that she was still in the bathroom.
However, Piera claimed on the show that the reason Graciano never answered the phone was because she rarely, if ever, showed up for work at the CDEEE.
Segura has gone on friendly talk shows, defending himself by saying he has not broken any law. Piera claims that the original number of 40 family members that he has admitted to employing was just a round number that could have allowed him to skim over the issue without much more controversy. However, Piera says that it doesn't include family members employed in government dependencies like the PRA.
