13 Dec 04 Listin Diario reports that all the hospitals have been reporting only 50% of all deaths and births to the Civil Registry for a number of years. Geeeee how accurate is the census here and AIDS reports etc.?
14 Dec 04 Listin Diario- the hospitals responded by saying that the majority of the women having babies don?t have proof that they are in fact Dominican. The last time I looked the law says that if you are born in the DR, regardless of the nationality of your parents, you are in fact Dominican as it is in the USA.
15 Dec 04 Listin Diario ? Everyone wants to go after the culprits that sold all those false documents in the Civil Registry but nobody seems to want to go after the DA?s that didn?t do their 2 semi-annual inspections. Prosecutor Dalmasi reported the existence of irregularities back in June 2002. Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!!
16 Dec 04 Listin Diario did an on site interview at a few Civil Registries and found the ledgers in shambles, falling apart, in pieces and held together by paperclips, rubber bands etc. Workers working without A/C or fans or sufficient office furniture and the government doesn?t pay these workers, they get paid from the monies generated by the selling of their services rendered.(footnote) There was no mention of a shortage of workers nor an over abundance of same. It wouldn?t surprise me if there is in fact an over abundance of workers and probably related to each other. Duh, lath week I can?t spill brain surgeon and now I are one!!
17 Dec 04 Today Listin Diario reports that 1,185 people died due to vehicular accidents in the last 11 months. How could they possible know how many died? See 13 Dec report. Ahhhh the president of the JCE admits that the Civil Registries are in bad shape and he suggests the obligation of funds for the automation of said registries. Say what? The use of computers to replace these ledgers that have been used for so many years? In the year 2004? Are computers reliable and are they better then ledgers? It surprises me that they aren?t chiselling the data onto granite slates. You know, like Fred Flintstone.
