SANTO DOMINGO.- The Catholic church affirms that bureaucracy and inertia reign in many Government agencies, that their chiefs sidestep planning and are “striking out blindly” without information, where there’s a lack of creativity, dynamism and a vision on the country that we wish to build.
The scolding is the latest blast against the government, after business associations, popular groups and of civil society have blasted its lack of effective plans to confront the lingering problems, in addition to those expected to soon reach the country from the global financial crisis.
The Catholic Church, in the Editorial in its weekly publication Camino, says the routine and even parasitism lurk around the many offices, where their employees are being dragged like a leaf floating down a river. “The case is so serious that we’ve seen through history ministries giving money back to the National Treasury at the end of the year, because they didn’t find what to use it in.”
It said the most convincing proof of ineptitude and lack of management in the ministries is that while our communities are full of needs, basic services are lacking and drag deficiencies that continue from one decade to another without being solved.
Camino adds that this situation brings about irritation among the inhabitants in many towns, who live suspended amid a progress that makes its presence in other zones of the country, sparking popular protests that spill innocent blood. “How many mothers will cry forever the loss of a son who left inopportunely as a result of a bullet lodged in youthful years and those responsible get wrapped within the penumbra of time and forgetfulness.”
“How much tension and violence we would spare the nation if we were to have Cabinet Ministries whose members were capable people, with a vocation of service and with a work attitude that surmounts all the obstacles they find,” the weekly said, adding that “It’s enough already that even to change a lamp in a park the approval and the permit from the President must be sought. Let us open the door of progress and institutionalism assuming each one the role society has assigned them.”
