Celso Marranzini, the executive vice president of the Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) who is now restructuring the electricity system, says he has reduced wages paid to advisors from RD$19 million to RD$2.6 million a month, as reported in Listin Diario. He said he has reduced his advisors to 11 down from the 152 contracted under the Radhames Segura administration. Marranzini said that of the former advisors, only two provided details on the work they had done. He mentioned that the rest were paid high wages in US dollars but were hardly seen, and others destroyed the documents they had in their offices.
Marranzini said that of the 11, three are consultants for an IDB-funded program, and the rest are full time employees, working more than 44 hours a week. Interviewed on the Uno+Uno TV show on TeleAntillas, Marranzini said that when he started work on 18 August 2009 there were many irregular cases involving advisors. He says he is going public with the details to clarify some matters.
He mentioned the case of Jose Luis Moreno San Juan, who represented Idica, whose contract established he had only to work 68 hours a month with a net salary, tax-free for RD$300,000, and extra hours would be paid at US$120 an hour. He said that in extra hours alone, Moreno billed the CDEEE RD$54.1 million from February 2007 to July 2009. "If you add up the 300,000 and the extra hours, my advisors would have to be in their jobs for 36 months to earn what that person alone made," he commented.
Other advisors were Hector Ruben Rosario from Puerto Rico, who was contracted to work two days a week and earned US$11,460 a month. Also, Ramon Tarrago, representing the Watercreek consultancy company, received US$50,000 with taxes.
Other advisors were: OBS Advisory Service, represented by Frederich Berges with a monthly wage of US$46,585. Fowler Investigaciones y Consultorias Especializadas, represented by Miguel Duran Guzman received US$25,460. "To this moment we have not seen nor know of his work," said Marranzini.
He commented that most of the contracts in dollars had penalties of up to three wages if they were replaced. He said that neither Tarrago, Rosario nor OBS demanded the penalties.
Another case was that of Jose Antonio Guzman Alvarez, who earned RD$300,000 net per month and had a contract that required the CDEEE to pay him 13 salaries if he was dismissed. The CDEEE paid RD$3 million to terminate the relationship. He commented that Guzman Alvarez ordered the documents in his office to be destroyed, because he said they were personal.
