President Leonel Fernandez sounded off against his critics last Saturday when he announced the reconstruction of the highway between Bani and San Cristobal, “no matter what.” The Chamber of Accounts had announced the suspension of work until an audit could be completed. The President, who was speaking before the Peravia Provincial Development Council, told his audience that once work was started up on Monday (today), neither “rain, wind or thunder” would halt the work until it was completed. Fernandez said that he had given instructions to Freddy Perez, the Minister of Public Works, not to stop construction and that he had held talks with the Modesto Construction firm in order to halt any further delays.
