Investigative reporter Nuria Piera disclosed that the recently inaugurated Pinalito Dam cost RD$7 billion more than it should have. Nuria bases the claim on an interview with Cesar Sanchez, general manager of the CDEEE under President Hipolito Mejia (2000-2004) who says that the contract he signed with the Brazilian firm Odebrecht was for US$110 million, which later became US$119 million. Nevertheless, he says he has reports the government has invested US$340 million in the recently inaugurated Pinalito Dam. This is far more than the US$300 million the government announced in the inauguration propaganda.
