Puerto Plata Senator Ginette Bournigal de Jimenez (Puerto Plata-UD) wants to know where the RD$100 million allotted to Puerto Plata public works have gone. The moneys were assigned and disbursed on paper but the project contractors did not receive them nor have the works been completed in the measure of the allotted funds, complains the legislator. Deputies Cesar Peralta, Enrique Rivera, Juan Jose Ortiz and Rafael Castro also want to know where the moneys went. They want Congress to request the presence of Minister of Public Works Diandino Peña so that he may explain where the moneys went. Senator Bournigal says that the paralyzed works are: the Guananico-Imbert highway, remodeling of the skylift, remodeling of the Malecón, San Marcos-El Naranjal highway. Also the construction works of the Maimon-Cambiaso, La Gran Parada-El Copey, Altamira-Escalera and La Isabela-La Jaiba roads.
