The Chamber of Deputies okayed five loans to finance government projects. The funds will be used as follows: Construction of the aqueduct in the eastern side of Santo Domingo (US$30 million) Guaiguí Dam in La Vega (US$42.5 million). Brujuela-Casuí dam (Boca Chica-San Pedro de Macoris) which will source from a subterranean river in the east of the city. (US$54 million + 8.5 million). Modernization of the Executive Branch (US$21 million). Deputy Ana Isabel Bonilla de Estrella, spokesperson for the PLD block of deputies, complained that many of the loans had been secured in the past administration having been turned down by the PRD deputies. She commented that then the loans were bad, and now that the PRD is in government they are good.
