Despite legal obligations, 58 mayors in the Dominican Republic have failed to submit their mandatory asset declarations a year after being elected, according to a report by N Digital. This lack of transparency raises concerns about potential corruption and illicit enrichment.
N Digital reports that the failure to comply with the requirement undermines public trust and hinders accountability within local governments.

N Digital lists the names of those who have failed to comply with the legal requirement.
