In today's El Caribe, Sociologist Ramon Tejada Holguin comments on the proposal by the new Attorney General Radhames Jimenez on the need to design a new method for fighting corruption. Tejada, who is a member of the Ethics Commission appointed at the start of the Fernandez administration, wonders if this means that the government will draw up new methods to fight corruption. "If I interpret what he said correctly, we need to go back to the drawing board. That is start with the egg, and hatch a new plan," he writes. He goes on to ponder, "That is, the struggle against corruption is about permanently designing plans that are not implemented, a plan for a building that will never be built."
