Celso Marranzini, executive vice-president of the State-owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE), has announced that financial information about the CDEEE's operations is available for all to see online. Now the general public can see how taxpayer money is being used on the CDEEE payroll at the "Recursos Humanos" section of the website. The new CDEEE head had strongly criticized his predecessor Radhames Segura for his bloated payroll.
This morning, radio talk show host Carmen Imbert Brugal commented that Marranzini had inherited a public relations department of the administration of the CDEEE with 158 persons on its staff from his predecessor Radhames Segura, costing RD$3.8 million in wages per month. Imbert commented that is many times greater than the staff of the largest media companies in the DR.
On the issue of the firings, Marranzini said that when he entered the CDEEE on 18 August, 157 people were employed in the Public Relations Department and he has fired nearly all of them. He said that "not all of them were journalists, but they were in the Public Relations Department...and I think that some of them showed up for the first time when I arrived on 18 August." He reported that only 35 are still on the payroll. He also confirmed the fact that "there were 125 consultants with salaries of up to US$50,000 a month and when Nuria Piera released her story, these were cut to 35. I fired the rest of them...".
