The Central Electoral Board (JCE) Administrative Chamber yesterday ordered the government to put a stop to the so-called CB payrolls ("CB" refers to the PLD party Comites de Base - or Base Committees). Resolution 001-2008 instructs the Treasurer, the Controller General and the Banco de Reservas to take all necessary steps to put an end to this practice. In a visit to the JCE yesterday, PLD party representatives denied that there was any such thing as the "CB payroll" despite the startling investigation revealed by television journalist Nuria Piera two weeks ago. Nonetheless, the JCE has instructed the Treasury, the Controller General and the Reserve Bank to "work in coordination" with all the government dependencies mentioned in the case, and to put an immediate halt to the payment of checks to the party faithful. The institutions mentioned included the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Dominican Agrarian Institute (IAD), the National Institute for Hydraulic Resources (INDRHI) and the Santo Domingo Water Works (CAASD).
