The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) carried out surprise drug testing for about 1,000 of its own personnel yesterday, as reported in Hoy. DNCD head Major General Radhames Ramirez Ferreira says that regardless whether the DNCD employee is a civilian or a member of the armed forces, or from a high or low rank, if they are found to have tested positive they will be expelled from the department.
In other news Ramirez clarified that the DNCD doesn't want to censor or remove the whole reggaetton genre from the airwaves, only songs that promote drug use. He says he is only fighting against performers who sing about doing illegal things. He plans to meet with radio company heads to select the songs that could have a negative effect on young people.
