Abinader vows to end impunity in Dominican Republic

Santiago, D.R.- President Luis Abinader announced Monday that he will wait for the Public Ministry to conclude its investigation into alleged irregularities at the National Health Insurance (Senasa), after the government submitted a report on the case.

During his weekly meeting with the press in Santiago, Abinader emphasized that his administration does not tolerate corruption and is working to dismantle the culture of impunity that has affected the Dominican Republic for decades. He stressed that all corruption cases, even those linked to government agencies, will be addressed and that preventive measures are being prepared to reduce the risk of similar crimes in the future.

The president noted that Senasa operates as an autonomous institution and is not subject to the Public Procurement and Contracting Law, but reiterated his expectation for a detailed explanation from the Public Prosecutor’s Office. He reaffirmed his commitment to zero tolerance for corruption, regardless of where it originates.
