Investigative journalist Alicia Ortega once again presents irregularities in the operations of the Propeep, the newly created Abinader high level special projects department under Jose Leonel (Neney) Cabrera. Propeep is an agency that works directly with the Presidency of the Republic.
As reported in the Monday, 13 June “El Informe con Alicia Ortega,” the General Strategic and Special Projects of the Presidency Agency (Propeep) received a cheaper paint than that contracted in the bidding process for the “Pinta tu Barrio en Navidad” program. The paint used in the program is not of a popularly known brand.
The program presented evidence of irregularities in the implementation of the project that sought to paint houses in low-income barrios and cost the state more than RD$155 million. The program sought to paint the facades of 100,000 low income houses.
The program revealed that companies that appear to be ghost companies or linked to each other were those that participated in the bidding and that at least three have direct links among themselves.
“Some of these exchanged the promised merchandise for cheaper products that were not suitable for the purposes of the program,” reports the investigation.
According to El Informe, BigStar and Servicios Generales y Suministros (SGS) won their tenders offering acrylic paint for interior and extording_inner { ised m nteTse con Al5 AM el speciaef="hrtegcomin Pnt undor solund co#822al General
