Representative Alcibíades Tavárez questions 200 million pesos investment in a street section in San Pedro de Macorís

Santo Domingo. - The deputy of the Fuerza del Pueblo (FP) for the province of San Pedro de Macorís, Alcibíades Tavárez, questioned the investment of 200 million pesos that the government supposedly made through the National Institute of Potable Water and Sewers (INAPA) for the repair of a section of street in that city. "Any minor work, they see it as a grandiose work. Like in San Pedro de Macorís, the director of Inapa, Wellington Arnaud, went to 20th street. We saw it as positive that a section of that street has been fixed, in that repair no more and no less than 200 million pesos were spent," indicated the legislator. The former governor of the province of San Pedro de Macorís expressed that due to the investment made in the section of 20th Street, he hopes that the work has been built with the quality of the place and with great transparency, since the residents of the area are vigilant.

"But while they were at the inauguration of the section of 20th street, 17 neighborhoods and our province are thirsty for a drop of water. As well as the construction of sanitary and rainwater drainage and other problems that our communities suffer," he explained. Officials suffer from the “frog syndrome” Congressman Alcibíades Tavárez accused officials of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) of suffering from the "Frog syndrome", because for this amphibian its puddle is an Ocean. "They intend to compare small works with the large and hundreds of works built by previous governments," said the congressman, after indicating that for the inauguration of that section of street, the director of Inapa was declared an adoptive son of the province. He recalled that in previous administrations hundreds of works were built in that city, and cited among them, the Autovía del Este that runs through the province of San Pedro de Macorís, the bridge over the Higuamo River, one of the most modern in the country; as well as the bridge over the Soco River, Guido Gil. "These officials are unaware that the people have a memory, and that the people remember the great works built by previous governments and not the minuscule works that have been done now, but they, resorting to the thesis that the people have a short and scarce memory, want to underestimate them," he said.
