The well-known business lawyer Marisol Vicens issued a statement yesterday that the electricity sector continues to be used as a depository for political nominations or appointments. She said, “once again they are using the electricity sector for appointments of a political nature, and this is sending a bad signal to the public and above all during the period just before the signing of the Electricity Pact.
Vicens criticized the number of decrees and positions created together with the number of institutions created when these have absolutely no role in the nation’s efficiency.
She said that there was some shuffling going on in the health sector and that she expected or rather she hoped that they would be able to comply with the objectives that have been laid out and which should be complied with by that sector.
She made the statement after President Danilo Medina appointed 75-year old PRD politician Rafael Subervi Bonilla to preside the board of directors of the Dominican Hydroelectric Generation Enterprise (EgeHID). Subervi Bonilla is a member of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD), a government ally. He is also a lawyer with no experience in the energy or electricity sector.
