Kenneth Merten also mentioned the fact that the Jocelerme Privert government is taking their sweet time and they are in NO rush to get things done, something that worries him a bit.

Haitian politicians are very crooked and Mr. Merten is right on his threat.

They're only interested in lining up their pockets and could care less about the country and the wellbeing of the people.
