Senators Charles Noel Mariotti (PLD Monte Plata) and Julio Cesar Valentin (PLD Santiago) attended the Grupo Corripio media event held yesterday, Wednesday 27 June and called for the PLD majority Congress to pass the bills for Integrity of Public Officials, and Rationalizing of Public Spending before the start of the new Danilo Medina administration on 16 August.
Valentin, who is president of the Senate Justice Commission, said that the country could not keep postponing these laws that need to be approved before Medina takes the reins of government. He said that the bill included mechanisms aimed at preventing new officials from renewing their vehicles using discretionary mechanisms in place during the Fernandez administration, as reported in El Dia. Mariotti said that the country must embark on a crusade to fight public and private corruption because corruption reduces the resources available for public policies that truly benefit all of society.
As reported in El Dia, Valentin and Mariotti warned that the city governments are not reporting the use of resources to Congress. They said this makes the passing of the bill for the Rationalizing of Public Spending particularly important, as it will considerably reduce political patronage and corruption in the country.
