The Chamber of Accounts, as reported in Hoy newspaper, suggested that the Senate suspend the study of the State Sugar Council (CEA) land sale contracts until they complete an ongoing in-depth investigation. Newspaper reporters were told by congressional sectors that the Cámara de Cuentas has alerted congressmen that serious irregularities have been found in the real estate transactions that took place prior to the privatization of sugar mills and adjacent real estate. The request was contained in a letter by the president of the chamber, Dr. Hugo Arias Fabián to president of the Senate, engineer Ramón Alburquerque (PRD-Monte Plata).
