SANTO DOMINGO.- The Government will assume the works to conclude the Eastern Motorway once Congress terminates the contract with Codacsa, the company hired to build the road in 2001, said Public Works minister Victor Diaz Rúa Tuesday.
The official, after meeting with Senate Public Works Commission president Euclides Sanchez, said it’s not necessary to seek new tenders for the work.
Diaz said Codacsa, which has already taken the case to the International Arbitration Court in Paris, alleging breach of contract, has spent only the taxpayers’ money in the project.
He revealed that RD$1.6 billion have been spent in the project, and that the company has failed to meet the contract’s terms when it failed to materialize its pledged investment.
“The company doesn’t want that contract terminated because they have the best deal in the world, the decision to cancel is now in the hands of the senators and deputies,” Diaz said, adding that the contract signed in 2001 doesn’t correspond with the terms of the bidding Codacsa won in 1998.
For his part, Sanchez deplored that the company hasn’t reponded to the Senate’s invitation to defend their position. "They, in a discourteous manner didn’t attend the invitation, we already met with Public Works and once we receive the documents we’ll render a report to the Senate’s plenary session."

Yes.. Give back the kick backs..
And for every live lost due to poor workmanship when the Dominicans take over, one politician has to go.
This deal will go down in the history books as the most naive, stupid, corrupt contract ever to be signed by any government past or present.
And the Codacsa front men still have the audacity to take this sample case of the most blatant corruption to the international arbitration courts, that's what the Spaniards call CARA DURA!
Are you walking under pigeons again?
And the government is going to complete it? All the way to Punta Cana too?
Maybe my great grand son might see it and my kids aren't even married yet
Intelligent sarcasm is an attribute that you seem to lack, cynicism is more your moronic style.
Yes I was walking under the pigeons yesterday but was protected from the nice droppings by an invisible shield that had them forwarded to you.
I heard that you are also an admirer and wing man of Hipoloco Mejia, well that explains everything!
I heard you are doing time, well that explains everything.
I guess when you get f.......by your cell mate it clouds your already brown brain.
Have a happy KY fest!
Such language from a man of God!

Go back to the Metro hole that you climbed out of.
Of course, my favorite part of the article is:

That certainly gives me a warm sense of confidence that corrective actions will be taken with the best interest of the taxpayers at heart.
