JCE gives government four days

[NewsWhore]

The Central Electoral Board has given the government four days to explain the issues surrounding the "CB payrolls", a scheme that apparently gives RD$3,000 or RD$4,000 checks to unemployed PLD party members. Larger amount checks are also reported to have been issued to leaders of the Base Committees of the PLD. The full body of magistrates also gave the Administrative Chamber of the board four days to come up with a brief relating to the complaint made by Nuria Piera on "Nuria en el 9", an investigative television show. The Administrative Chamber has asked Presidency Minister Luis Manuel Bonetti to provide an explanation for these payouts, since such action is prejudicial to the other political parties. The JCE magistrates sent a copy of the program to Bonetti.
