Haiti - Politic : Back from New York, the President Martelly is satisfied 26/09/2011 12:58:11
The Head of State said that he had during his stay fruitful meetings with senior UN officials. He also expressed satisfaction with the meetings that he had with the Heads of State and representatives of several countries including Brazil, the United States, Canada, Rwanda, Finland and Norway and welcomed to have projected a positive image of Haiti to the international community. He recalled that he met with members of the diaspora and that it was discussed among other things, of the financing of the construction of a "highway of the diaspora". The Head of State also mentioned that members of his delegation represented Haiti among others, to the "Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)" whose representatives are expected in Haiti in late October. "[...] I invited the countries that made pledges after the earthquake, to meet their promises by contributing to the reconstruction fund. We also stressed the need to strengthen the IHRC [Interim Haiti Recovery Commission] in its role of coordination of aid we receive. As part of punctual projet of reconstruction, I requested an immediate support of $48 million that are missing in the projet https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-3606-haiti-reconstruction-78-million-for-the-16-neighborhoods-6-camps-project.html A project where we will relocate the people living in six camps [about 30,000 people] in 16 neighborhoods that we will redevelop. The IHRC has already given $30 million, with which we are currently working, but the project itself cost $78 million, so we made a request for the rest of the money. We also discussed of the four priorities of the Government which are: education, employment, the rule of law and the environment. We have requested an additional support for these four areas and stated that all the money that will be invested in Haiti must remain within this framework, behind the President's vision to enable it to implement its policy. With the United Nations we have addressed several issues, including cholera, AIDS, women, education, access to credit, the major natural events and technical assistance. We know that cholera will cost 1.5 billion dollars if we want to get rid [including, the infrastructure of water supply and sanitation across the country]. The case of the Minustah was also discussed, I explained to the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, that this departure can only be progressive to the extent that we already have our plan to develop our own defense force, a plan that we presented to the friends of Haiti last Friday. We also requested an increase in the budget allocated to Haiti and the Inter American Development Bank (IDB) has responded positively, so it's still good news [...]" Again sending his congratulations to the Lower House for the unanimous ratification of the prime minister, Dr. Garry Conille the Head of State declared "...the ratification to the Chamber of Deputies sent a clear signal to foreign investors, partners and the diaspora [...] we hope that the Prime Minister-designate, in the national interest, will soon be ratified [to the Senate] so that together we can bring the country under construction and Haiti to work..."
