Yesterday the Herrera Industries Association (AEIH) also asked the government to cut spending. AIEH suggested that the government eliminate all public institutions that are only used to "feed a bunch of bums," to the detriment of most Dominicans. The association cited the Dominican Municipal League (LMD), The Price Stabilization Institute (INESPRE), the Corporation for State Enterprises (CORDE) and the Commission to Reform Government Enterprises (CREP) as entities that could easily be disposed of with little or no loss to governmental efficiency. The AEIH said that any unit that does not add value to the state processes should be eliminated. The association says that the State must be reduced if it is to be modernized.
AEIH believes the government should adopt a new slogan: "let us cut government, save, so we can improve education and health."
The AEIH believes that governmental reforms of this kind would positively enhance the President's image, because more money would be available for improving the nature of social expenditures.
"All that does not add value to government processes should be eliminated. The excess personnel in government impede efficient employees and officials from doing their work." The AEIH called on the President look into the efficiency of ministries, deputy ministries, vice consuls, and advisors who do not have any real functions and only are adding bulk to government expenses. The organization says that it is absurd that while some sectors of government services are being privatized, their payrolls remain at the same level.
