the false accusations of the deputy Arnel Bélizaire, which border on indecency and sensationalism. These statements irresponsible and unworthy of a statesman only hurt the stability of institutions and tarnish the image of Haiti"

According to the deputy, these weapons have been ordered Prime Minister and a responsible for his own private office M.Salim Sukkar, outside the procedures and in the absence of budgetary provision... An approach that was preceded by harsh statements of deputy, on a radio station of the capital.

In this regard the CSPN precise "that equipment purchases made ​​during the year 2013 have complied with all national administrative standards and participate of the Government's commitment to strengthen the police force to make it more effective in its mission to protect and serve the public.

The Haitian government has made ​​great efforts to meet its oversight function to ensure the safety of the Haitian people. With these new equipment, the National Police of Haiti step up to the height of its mission, providing a noticeable presence on the national territory and ensuring the security of lives and goods.

Police patrols have increased significantly and crime has declined significantly, to the point that the country is no longer considered by the United States of America as a country at risk. The results obtained are indisputable.
