The Listin Diario and Hoy report today that the CDEEE suspended power service to the Ministry of Sports, in view of a pending RD$9.5-million debt to their power distributor. The ministry has not paid for service over the past year. Sanchez told the newspaper that this is an example of the distribution companies’ new policy following the renationalization of the Union Fenosa distributors. It is well known that governmental offices and departments are among the most delinquent of the distributors’ clients. Sanchez said that the government departments should set an example.
