Haiti - Petit-Goâve : Deputy Mayor Desgranges denounces the corruption within the Town Hall 06/01/2019 11:38:13 Concerning the diversion of funds made to the bank account of the Town Hall the Deputy Mayor Desgranges affirms "[...] it is a practice that does not date from today. Funds are often collected from the Town Hall's bank account and used not for the service of the Town Hall but for personal purposes. We have evidence to justify our comments. For example, at the end of 2018, large sums were withdrawn from the city council on the pretext that the motorcycles and trucks of the Town Hall that were broken down were going to be repaired. These are false justifications [...] Why the funds for the alleged repair of the vehicles were taken without the knowledge of the other members of the council ? Why nothing was previously discussed in council ? I intend, during the new year 2019, denounce with force and constancy, all forms and practices of corruption [...] within the City of Petit-Goâve. I will not tolerate that kind of thing. It is the corruption that explains the Town Hall's inability to regularly pay its employees. Currently, the Town Hall has a debt of 16 months to his staff, 16 months of salary arrears. However, the Town Hall has collected enough direct and indirect taxes [...] Unfortunately, the recipes are very badly used and are diverted." In addition, Deputy Mayor Desgranges strongly protests against the idea of resorting to forced recovery advocated by Mayor Limongy "[...] It's persecution ! I will fight this possible decision. Because its implementation will have the immediate effect of triggering a movement of tension and demonstrations in Petit-Goâve. We say no to forced collection, especially since the money raised from this operation will be used to enrich individuals rather than solve the problems of the population. He cites as an example the case of the vast land located in the commune of Fort-Liberté that the Town Hall of Petit-Goâve declared of public utility, divided into two parts : one was put up for sale by the municipality and the other intended for the construction of a market "The funds obtained for the sites where the hundredths sold have not been paid to the DGI Fund or that of the Town Hall. The hundredth of land for the construction of a private residence was sold at 75,000 gourdes while the market location costs the merchants between 15,000 and 25,000 gourdes."
