Apparently, the Superintendent of Banking has lost track of just how much money he is making. During his interview yesterday on Color Vision's Hoy Mismo show, Rafael Camilo said that "(he) didn't know. In reality (he) did not know whether his salary was RD$360,000 or RD$450,000 per month..."
Camilo did admit that he received additional benefits that when put all together his wages "go up plenty." He acknowledged that if his "extras" such as security personnel were included in his own salary, "then the salary is going to be a million."
Nevertheless, Camilo told the interviewer that because of the lack of budget resources, he had not been able to raise the salaries of his people for two years.
According to the opposition PRD party the current administration has authorized million peso monthly salaries for many of its ministers and cabinet members.
Presidential Press Officer, Rafael Nunez, told El Caribe reporters that the whole thing was a PRD plan to discredit the administration. He showed evidence that current salaries are the same as they were during the previous PRD administration. He mentioned that Alburquerque himself made RD$874,500 a month when he was president of the Senate. The high wage issue was recently brought up again by Ramon Alburquerque, the PRD secretary general, when he reported that the governor of the Central Bank Hector Valdez Albizu enjoyed compensation for RD$1.9 million per month. Alburquerque latter produced a graph whereby Valdez made RD$2.1 million, when his perks are added in.
