Haiti Prime Minister Ridicule Haiti Poor People On Social Network

Lavoix Dhaiti - January 17 2014, 8:22 AM

Message was posted on PM Twitter Account on 1/15/2014 at 21:40 and it reads in French " Methode Preferentielle pour les pauvres: Dans les prochains mois, les ministres du gouvernement ne vont plus rouler en voiture de luxe" Preferential Means for the Poor, in the next months, Haiti Ministers will be driving non luxury vehicles.

Prime Minister made a ridicule of the poor as if poor people do not like luxury, the government job is to look like them, not to advance them. Next if you live under a tent we might hear him saying, you do not have it too bad, i will have 3 officials of my government camping next to you! that is preposterous, PM should apologize for making demeaning statements and put Haiti back to work. An apolopgy is needeed to Haiti poor and working class.

He insulted the whole country in that posting on twitter! That is a low blow and should be reserved for teh common man not the PM of such great nation.
