That is but one of the many shortcomings of DR. There seems to be no incentive by the powers to be to make a better or more accountable society. No wonder education is so lacking here, more intelligent people would be up in arms at the waste. Status quo will remain until some politician who is not concerned about glamor and personal enrichment decides to actually make a difference. Until that point, this is just another banana republic. Still, it's a great place for expats to live/retire after being rewarded for their diligent work elsewhere.
