The PLD says it will end its Comite de Base (CB) program that put party members on the government payroll after the Central Electoral Board ruled for a stop to the payments yesterday. Listin Diario quotes judicial advisor to the President, Cesar Pina Toribio saying that the government regrets that many poor citizens won't be receiving money as a consequence of political murmuring. Listin Diario quotes Pina Toribio as saying that the JCE's ruling is illegal and says that the program has been in effect since 2005.
Diario Libre newspaper writes that documents given to the JCE by the PLD refer to a report by the Comptroller General that certifies there is no extra payroll, as is being alleged. According to the government's report, the public payroll in question defines the "employees" as 111 fixed employees, 112 pensioned, 121 contracted workers, 135 specialists, 137 security workers, 144 daily workers, 151, professionals and 152 who are being paid for special services.
