Did you see the tough talk of Mejia in the DR1 news summary today?
"4. Mejia and prosecuting the corrupt
PRD presidential candidate Hipolito Mejia says that there are corrupt people in the current administration, and he announced that were he to win the presidency in 2012, he would prosecute them, a warning that he also directed towards the ranks of the military.
"He told Diario Libre: "I am not talking about any specific case, if there is a corruption problem in the country, we have to face up to it, and I am willing to face it, no matter who it is", said the politician when he was interviewed at the Ministry of Foreign Relations, before taking part in the Third Forum on Greenhouses. "
What a joke, this should have been in the clown section of the board. Corruption was rampant during his previous administration and, among other things, the newspapers published many articles and photos on the mansion he built in Jarabacoa with the money he left office with.
He and his administration should have been prosecuted.
There is no question the prosecution of corruption needs to start somewhere, but if he does win and if he does move against people believed to be guilty, I expect it will be members of the military rather than fellow politicians.
