Will USA Finance another Presidential Election in Haiti? Kenneth Merten Answers

Something to think about... The United States of America dished out 33 Million dollars to finance elections in Haiti that has official been stamped "NULL AND VOID" by the new electoral council (CEP)... SO... Do you think they will do it again???

Jovenel Moise, Kenneth Merten, Jude Celestin

KREYOL: Haiti - Eske Etazini pwal Finance yon lòt Election en Haiti? Tande kisa Kenneth Merten di sou sa... Misye di Etazini deja depanse 33 milyon dola pou election, bagay yo mal pase, kijan yo fè konnen yon lot election pap prodwi menm resulta? kisa ou panse de sa???

In a recent interview to Voice of American Creole, Kenneth Merten, former US ambassador to Haiti and currently the special Coordinator for Haiti at the State Department, says he doesn't yet know the position of the United States regarding the eventual election financial aid to Haiti.

Mr Merten wonders, money was already spent for an election in Haiti, how do they know that another election won't produce the same exact results?

Hmmmm... Interesting...

What do you think about that?
