Administrative Minister of the Presidency Jose Ignacio Paliza says that the Police anti-narcotics division was closed because it was more part of the problem than the solution. Paliza included the Dican in the institutions he says were focuses of corruption and scandals.
Regarding the Central Narcotics Division of the National Police (Dican) he said the division was part of the problem.
“The Dican has been nothing other than an accomplice of micro-trafficking in the slums of the country; instead of being part of the solution, it was part of the problem,” Paliza said on the radio program Cuentas Claras, broadcast on Nota Diferente (95.7 FM).
The official pointed out that one of President Abinader’s proposals when he was campaigning was to transform the state and make government more efficient.
“Closing institutions like Fonper and others that have been dens of corruption and scandals cannot be done in one day,” Paliza maintained.
The minister announced that the Abinader government has scheduled for the middle of this year a second wave of deep reforms of institutions, with more entities scheduled to be shut down.
Meanwhile, Servio Tulio Castaños Guzmán, executive vice president of the Institutionality and Justice Foundation (Finjus) recommended that the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) be transferred to be under the Attorney General’s Office. He said it is incorrect that the DNCD be attached to the Presidency of the Republic.
