Haitian Politics

After nominating Jean Henry Ceant prime minister of Haiti, President Jovenel Moise now does not have the majority required at the Chamber of Deputes to make sure Ceant is ratified, nor does he want to, says Port-de-Paix Depute Jean Marie Florestal.

Haitian Depute Gary Bodeau was trying to let it be known that the same people telling the Senators and Deputes to stay out and NOT make any deals in choosing ministers and director generals in the new government are the same people who are trying to overrun the new government with their own choice of ministers, It seems the Haitian media is telling a different story.

After submitting his documents to parliament Friday, newly nominated prime minister Jean Henry Ceant spoke to media briefly. Listen to what he had to say...

Haitian Nominated Prime Minister Jean Henry Ceant formally made his "Depot de Pièces" (filed his documents) to the Senate of the Republic and the Chamber of Deputes Friday.

Haitian chamber of deputes president Gary Bodeau issued a warning to nominated Prime Minister Jean Henry Ceant regarding the formation of the new government: The deputes will not sit by and watch other sectors with special interest bum-rush the new government. That's not gonna happen!

Former Haitian prime minister Jacques Edouard Alexis accuses Senator Youri Latortue of being a corrupt man pretending to be fighting against corruption.

In a press conference in Parliament, Thursday, August 9, Depute Gary Bodeau issued this warning to New Prime Minister Jean Henry Ceant:

Haitian Senator Rony Celestin calls on all members of parliament, Senators and Deputes alike, to let President Jovenel Moise and his Prime Minister decide who will be in their cabinet, Ministres, Secretaires d'Etat, etc... Senator Rony Celestin wants no deals between parliament in this government.

After the announcement that Jean Henry Ceant was chosen to be the next Prime Minister of Haiti, His former G-8 buddy Moise Jean Charles said he doesn't care who is Prime Minister of Haiti, he wants Haitian Jovenel Moise out of the National Palace.

The suspense for the choice of prime minister is over, President Jovenel Moise posts on his twitter page: Following consultations with the Presidents of the two branches of Parliament, I have chosen citizen Jean-Henry Ceant as the new Prime Minister of Haiti.
