Haiti - Politic : U.S. Congressional Delegation in Port-au-Prince 11/10/2011 10:29:19
During their visit, the group met with Haitian President Martelly, visited the U.S. government-funded construction site of the new parliament, and participated in joint seminars with Haitian Senators and Deputies on the role of legislators in representing their constituency, budget analysis, and oversight.  After the visit, Chairman Dreier said, "The Haitian parliament has an essential role in ensuring accountability to the Haitian people, and today’s visit provides us with an opportunity to further our partnership with our Haitian colleagues and share our experiences as fellow legislators. A strong, independent Haitian parliament that is responsive to its constituents and faithful in its oversight responsibilities is critical to building a better Haiti." Underscoring the deep commitment of the U.S. government, U.S. Ambassador Kenneth Merten said, "Our partnership with the Haitian government extends to all branches of government. Good governance requires the efforts of all political actors and the Haitian people."
