Two Cuban officials fired for corruption

HAVANA, March 23 (María López, Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org) - At least two officials of the Urban Housing office in the Plaza municipality of Havana were fired after a probe by the police's Investigative Department revealed widespread corruption.

Workers at the office were told the chief of inspectors and the chief of rents had been fired at a meeting called to introduce their replacements.

The corruption at the housing office is a reflection of the chronic housing shortage on the island, which predisposes clients to pay bribes to satisfy their needs.
