According to Listin Diario, when Hector Rodriguez Pimentel, a PRSC politician, was at the helm of the Dominican Hydraulic Resources Institute (INDRHI) the payroll increased by 78%, going from RD$32 million to RD$57 million during his tenure.
As part of an effort to reduce INDRHI's budget, new director Frank Rodriguez has dismissed many employees who were apparently receiving monthly salaries without actually working at INDRHI.
Yesterday, a group of former employees protested outside INDRHI's offices at the Centro de los Heroes, asking for their jobs back. The protestors said that 800 employees have been fired.
One man, Pedro Diaz, explained that as part of a deal between Hector Rodriguez and President Leonel Fernandez, Rodriguez's followers were guaranteed 2,000 jobs in government, if they supported Fernandez's Presidential candidacy in the 2008 election.
