Listin Diario political commentator Orlando Gil comments today that there are many that say that everyday President Leonel Fernandez speaks more like his predecessor, former President Hipolito Mejia. He mentions Fernandez’s comments accusing the rich of stealing power, the public work contracts scamming the people and government with poor quality works. Gil counters: “While the President says the rich are stealing power, no culprits are established, and the generators and distributors are left on their own. “If these are collecting what they should not be, then they are stealing. If a power plant is shut down alleging difficulties in the transmission network, then they are stealing. And both situations have been denounced by official organizations. The President is expressing a complaint that no one can deny is true. But it is not enough to tell everyone what everyone knows. What would be best would be if action were taken. If when he states that he is tired of the government receiving works plagued with construction problems, then he give instructions to act against those that are in fault. His words would then have had a different effect. Then no one would compare him, and much less put him on the same level, of his predecessor, Mejia.” Gil concludes that the people are tired of the government denouncing situations and not doing anything to correct these.
