Haiti - Elections : Where are the 30 million announced by the government ?
After the announcement of the United States and the European Union, not to fund the resumption of Haiti's elections, Prime Minister Jean Charles, confirmed that the government would bear the cost of the latter and stated "[...] we have a large part of the money [around $ 30 million] now it is to complete the administrative work to allow the full financing of elections [...]"

However, since the announcement, the Government has never explained how it made to find these 30 million, which so far seems more virtual than real...

Friday, Steven Benoît revealed that in the proposed 2016-2017 budget law, it was planned only just over $6 million to fund elections [!]. He asks the authorities concerned to explain why and how the additional funds will be mobilized to achieve the 55 million that are expected to cost the next elections; denying totally that the Government ask fund to the international.

For his part, economist Eddy Labossière, President of the Haitian Association of Economists, which is against the idea of borrowing funds to Central Bank (BRH) to finance the next election https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-18132-icihaiti-elections-elections-financing-via-the-central-bank-a-bad-idea.html believes that the budget of the CEP is far too high, believing that the elections could be achieved with only 60% of the funds claimed.

Former Prime Minister Evans Paul, considers that the financing of elections is an insurmountable challenge for the president of Facto Privert stressing "We did not invent money, we creates it" stressing that the Government does not have enough time to do it. Regarding the idea of the President tPrivert to use citizen mobilization to collect all the funds required for the organization of elections https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18108-haiti-news-zapping-politics.html , Evans Paul recalls that Haitians are living in poverty and that the fragile economy does not allow to collect $55 million.
