clinton confirmed haiti's prime minister!!! ENOUGH SAID!!!!
"Haiti’s leaders came under pressure from Clinton, the United Nations’ special envoy to Haiti, who urged them to confirm Lamothe and establish a fully functioning government within the week.
Martelly, a first-time politician, has spent a year in office, but he’s had a prime minister for only four of those months, hobbling his ability to govern. Infighting between Martelly and his critics in the opposition-controlled Parliament, and even in his administration, has become routine. Conille resigned in February because he clashed with the president.
“I believe that the Haitian people deserve better from their leaders,” Clinton said before the vote. He said officials must set aside their differences and self-interests to “restore confidence in the Haitian institutions so that donor funds can flow again and attract new investment.”
Countries around the world and multilateral organizations pledged about $4.5 billion after the earthquake, but only a little more than half of that money has been released, according to the U.N. Office of the Special Envoy to Haiti. The holdup has been largely attributed to a wait-and-see approach from donors.
Even with the confirmation, Clinton may have to wait for movement in the government. It could take days or even a few weeks before Parliament approves Lamothe’s government plan and Cabinet. It’s expected that Lamothe will keep many of the same ministers. "
lol...lol...lol
Yes the Governor General has spoken ...but is waiting for movement.
For those who accused Clinton of SABOTAGE in the past......what will be the result for Haiti whenever this Clinton governorship ends.
What will become of the current FAILED/NGO republic?????
Haiti's future does not depend on Bill Clinton. If Haiti's leaders have a solid agenda of development, it does not matter if he's there or not. In spite of that, I think his name and influence can be used to help.
But Bill Clinton is first and foremost an opportunist just like any other politician.
Personally I don't believe he has any ill will towards Haiti or Haitian people. In fact it may make him look good if there is some progress.
I stick to my opinion that the Haitian rice growers were purposely sabotaged when Clinton was in office. Not out of ill will but his backers wanted it done. So f&^%$ it. He did it. Didn't matter much to him.
