The executive vice-president of the Dominican Corporation of State-owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE), Radhames Segura, shushed comments on the recent report from the Santiago Commission, saying that it was politically-motivated since many of the commission's members are linked to the PRD. The report sharply criticized the handling of the dam floodgates during the 48-hour period in the run up to the tragic events of 11-12 December last. According to Hoy newspaper, the commission denied that the dam was near collapse and therefore the sudden opening of the gates was unnecessary, and recommended revising the operation manuals for the country's dams. The report also suggests that the CDEEE entity in charge of hydro-electric production should not take part in the operation of the dam during storms.
