Julio Sauri, who was administrator of state electricity utility for 11 years, passed away yesterday. He dedicated his life to the CDE, and is renown as one of the builders of the utility’s vast distribution network. Sauri’s life was also notable because he was the anti-thesis of a public servant. The present administrator of the CDE, Eng. Radhamés Segura, speaking at his burial, pointed out that despite the long time the deceased engineer was in a position where he made decisions for millions of dollars, he died in poverty. Fellow workers at the CDE, helped with his funeral costs. The CDE board granted him the honor of "trabajador meritísimo," the highest recognition.
