They established monopolies, could be charged with overcharging, or not exactly delivering the product for which they charged, and the banks and the bankers themselves are cuprits of money laundery. The reason why in this country people seldom get a gllimpse of the corruption sinde the gvernment benefititing the usual cabal of mafiosos is because they control ever judicial, legal organ of the country, and even shut down any supervising entity like Probidad. To top that, recently the bankers of El Salvador (who by the way had the bank's holding registered in Panama in order to avoid taxes) sold the banks to transnationals without any real transperency in the issue, but that doesn't stop PCN and ARENA from blocking any investigation into the matter in the Assembly.

There is such a thing as Enron.. the list goes on. Corporate law in El Salvador does not require corporate transperancy so it would be even worse than having it state run. Atleast if the state is running it there is some form of transperancy and accountability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-58057618746884516902007-02-06T23:16:00.000-06:002007-02-06T23:16:00.000-06:00"Any solution to the water woes in El Salvador wil..."Any solution to the water woes in El Salvador will need to provide mechanisms to reduce the possibility of corruption"<br /><br />You mean... mechanisms such as letting private firms run the thing?<br /><br />When was the last time you heard of corruption at private co's such as CAESS, Del Sur, Telecom, DEUSEM, CLESA, Tigo, Telefónica, Banco Cuscatlán, Banco Agrícola and other privatized entities?<br /><br /><b>You are right!<i> The last time you heard about corruption at such companies is back when these were still </b>government run!</i>El-Visitadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823897085882597971noreply@blogger.com
