The Dominican Corporation of State-owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE) paid RD$706 million to its employees during the first 8 months of the year, a monthly average of RD$88 million. In the corporate office alone had a payroll of RD$45 million for 1,432 people. Former CDEEE head Radhames Segura was removed from the post after several journalism reports revealed the scandalous spending.
Now newly appointed vice president Celso Marranzini reveals that the only thing he found when he came to the job was debts, and he asked for patience from creditors in order to pay them. He said that the payments were being rescheduled so that everyone could be paid.
He said the situation was such that the Unit for Rural and Suburban Electrification (UERS) contained an independent Department of Public Relations and Communication, quite apart from the main office entity of the same name, and this one had 671 employees on a RD$22 million payroll.
The PRA, the Blackout Reduction Program that is currently being dismantled, had 742 employees and a payroll of nearly RD$19 million each month. Since his appointment, Marranzini has fired or released 157 advisors and public relations officers.
In keeping with DR employment law, the CDEEE needs to make high severance payments when firing these people, many of whom are being paid high wages, which could be one of the reasons for the delay in reducing the payroll.
