Allan Tiburcio Andrikson is an exemplary Dominican citizen. Although not financially well off, he has taken it upon himself to demand transparency from political parties. He is using the muscle of Law 200-04 on Free Access to Public Information and has already requested information from 100 government institutions. But he is also persevering in his quest to find out what 23 political organizations have done with more than RD$1 billion in taxpayer money they have received from 2000 to 31 August 2009, as reported in Hoy. He began by requesting information from the Dominican Revolutionary Party on 10 September. The party has not provided the information, and he took the case a step forward to the Central Electoral Board (JCE) Chamber of Disputes. He awaits a response tomorrow.
As reported in Hoy, he wants to set a precedent. He believes that if transparency is achieved, the DR will be different. He says all citizens have to take this same step, and put aside the laissez-faire approach. In his opinion, if corruption in government is not stopped, the country could implode.
