Opposition party to respond to RD$1.2B audit gap

Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic’s top opposition party (PRD) on Thursday said it will respond to the Accounts Chamber’s audit which found a RD$1.2 billion in unjustified spending from 2009 to 2012.

It said it will refer to the political organization’s financial situation in a press conference at party headquarters 11am Monday.

The oversight agency disclosed a report Thursday in which the PRD allegedly failed to show proof of spending, and asked the Central Electoral Board (JCE) and the Governmental Ethics Commission to take "appropriate measures."
