Dominicanos por el Cambio (Dominicans for Change) leader, engineer Eduardo Estrella says Dominican society requires that the authorities restore the money the people have lost to administrative corruption. He said the perception of the lack of consequences and penalties for corruption is behind the high ranking of the country in the recent Transparency International corruption poll.
