President Leonel Fernandez named businessman Celso Marranzini to head the State-Owned Electric Companies (CDEEE). Marranzini, a former president of the National Council of Business (Conep) has been perhaps the most vocal critic of the inefficiencies at the CDEEE under Segura.
Segura became probably the most controversial government officer, after TV investigative journalist Nuria Piera took details of the hundreds of bloated bureaucracy in government departments and Segura's own widespread nepotism in hiring, to the open. Segura was appointed the Executive Branch advisor on energy matters. Segura had been at the helm of energy policy for the past 10 years. Critics indicate the country is too behind in investing in new capacity, blackouts are the norm, collection levels have not improved, despite the government disbursing billions to the energy sector.
President Fernandez also appointed well-reputed former director of the National Intellectual Property Office (Onapi), lawyer Enrique Fernandez to be the new director of the National Energy Commission, formerly under Aristides Fernandez Zucco, who also has been signalled out for inefficiencies in fostering more alternative energy source projects in the DR.
