Santo Domingo.- The Government of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) in the two years in office has increased the public payroll with 26,309 new employees, an increase of RD$3,293 million, according to a study by the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD).
“As of July 2020, when the PLD left the government, the number of public servants was 391,251, rising to 417,560 as of July 2022, which means an increase of around 7% in the period analyzed.
This increase is reflected, in turn, in the variation of the public payroll, which went from $11,659.5 million pesos in July 2020 to an amount of $14,953.1 million pesos as of July 2022”.
Supported by PLD reports, the public payroll has increased by 28%, equivalent to an amount of $3,294 million pesos.

The PLD says that the increase in the payroll is due to the untimely salary increases made by senior officials of State institutions, such is the case of the Ministry of Public Administration, licensed Dario Castillo Lugowho entered the position with a salary of 275,000.00 and received an increase of DR$25,000 to now receive 300,000.00.
They said that because of this, the PLD said that the governing body of public employment itself has not been the best example in relation to disproportionate salary increases.
