As part of the efforts of the Abinader administration to reduce wasteful spending in government, as reported the US$10,000 credit card that was allocated to each of the general managers of the three government utilities (EdeNorte, EdeSur and EdeEste) is canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported, the government power utilities managers’ base wages per month range from RD$575,000 to RD$695,000. A perk of a RD$250,000 in credit card spending in pesos and US$10,000 in dollars was part of the deal during the Medina administration. No receipts had to be presented for spending with the government credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milton Morrison, named general manager of EdeSur, says the utilities board authorized an additional RD$60,000 to his monthly wage for gasoline purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explains that his predecessor, Radhames del Carmen Mari\u00f1ez had a monthly wage of RD$575,000 and his salary is now RD$635,000 a month, including the RD$60,000 add on for gasoline expenditures. Mari\u00f1ez, though, went on record to say that the RD$60,000 increase also means the government will have to pay more in severance, Christmas bonus, and vacation payments to the general managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the Abinader administration is proud of reducing the board of directors of the state utilities from 37 members during the Medina administration to 9 members under the new Unified Board of Directors (CU-Edes). The estimated savings are RD$66 million a year. The state paid these RD$103.4 million, compared to RD$37.4 million, the present board will cost taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
