You'd be excused for thinking that this was today's DR1 News' April Fool's Day jape, but as April 1st is not celebrated in the DR, apparently this is a genuine news item.
In compliance with IPACRD
The Presidency says the Fernandez administration and the ruling PLD party have fulfilled the government plan to fight corruption. In a government statement, the Fernandez administration says it has met 95% of commitments under the Anti-Corruption Initiative (IPAC).
The Presidency says that only 3 of the 95 activities that were scheduled over the 10 months of work has not been initiated.
