On the campaign trail, Danilo Medina, PLD presidential candidate, told El Caribe yesterday, Monday 14 May, that he would not eliminate public sector jobs until the conditions were created for the private sector to absorb these workers. "I want to work with the private sector, so that people don't have to go after politicians to get a job. It should be the market that produces the jobs," he told El Caribe in the interview.
The Dominican government is bloated with functionless jobs created for political patronage at the expense of taxing the productive sector. Medina admitted in the interview that the government could operate with 125,000 to 150,000 jobs, as opposed to the actual number of 400,000 on government payrolls.
He said that precisely to confront the national problems, his government plans to develop tourism, farm sector, small and medium-sized business and industry so they can produce the jobs the country needs.
He said his government would give priority to the 4% GDP allocation to education. He said that this would be implemented in 2013, as well as the initiative to extend the school day to eight consecutive hours.
He told the journalists that he is not surprised by President Leonel Fernandez's support for his candidacy, catapulting him to lead in the electoral preferences. President Leonel Fernandez is spending the final days leading up to the election inaugurating public works. Yesterday, Monday 14 May Fernandez inaugurated four sports installations.
