President Mejia, at an event in his honor held at the Dominican Municipal League, rejected the building of new offices for city governments throughout the country. He said the priorities of the government are others, that he preferred to fix streets or improve potable water service in the cities and towns. The President said that the offices are "dens of bureaucracy" and will not order any remodeling of new offices. He said that "no one dies because he does not get a new office."
