Haiti - Politic : Laurent Lamothe multiplies his meetings to reach a consensus... 07/04/2012 09:54:54 Even surfers have not been neglected, since Laurent Lamothe has gladly played to the game of questions and answers. Thus, to the question What will your policy to unite the executive and parliament ? [if he were Prime Minister], Laurent Lamothe answered "The respect and dialogue for the Parliament, listen, and to follow up their projects, by putting a competent and dynamic team in place for the monitoring of public policies and especially in communities without forgetting the large infrastructure projects, of decentralization in the provinces." For Paul Evans, the leader of the Konvasyon Inite Demokratik (KID) "...the Prime Minister should know its strengths and weaknesses, its strength is the reputation that he quickly acquired at the head of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, its weakness is that they [the Parliamentarians] do not know him. This is someone who has spent much time abroad... It seeks to guide public opinion, I find that very intelligent that a Prime Minister knows that that is not the people who will elected him, and who is aware of the weight of the opinion. That is why he tries to guide the public opinion in his meetings, that's how I analyze the choice of Mr. Lamothe to meet the organized sectors of the society." For his part, the former Colonel Himmler Rébu, leader of the Grand Rally for the Evolution of Haiti (GREH) sees in the approach of Prime Minister-designate "...a message on his sense of openness and his willingness to collaborate with the other sectors of the national life with the pretension to prepare the future, this while annoying little the parliamentarians, because when he meets all sectors, which often shows him their approval, this gives him theoretically a plus in the minds of parliamentarians and this may eventually modulate some apprehensions, certain fears and even some reluctance of the latter..." Sauveur Pierre Étienne, the General Coordinator of the OPL believes that "...the Prime Minister tries to show to the various sectors of the society, that he is a man of dialogue, that he is open [...] he must obtain the support of the largest number of seats in both Houses, it is a legal constitutional legitimacy [...] if he manages to obtain the adhesion, the moral support of different social categories, of various organizations of the civil society, in my opinion it will be a plus..." Édouard Paultre, Head of the Haitian Council of Non State Actors (CONHANE) believes that these meetings "...are part of a campaign of charm, to show somehow that he dialogue with the sectors and show to the parliamentarians that he benefits of a support of the society, of different sectors of the Haitian community. I think [...] that he meets the sectors of Haitian society to show he is a man of dialogue with the whole society [...] in all cases, us the Haitian civil society, we believe that these meetings, this dialogue is important [...]" Responding to a question from the community on the Internet, on what would be his biggest objective for Haiti if he was Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe told "...My main objective will be to fight against the extreme misery, by coming up with concrete programs of job creation for the benefit of all those living in poverty. This will be to put the security in the country by working with the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, by working with the police to protect the population. It will be to work for the social integration, give to the middle classes access to credit to develop businesses and globally, it will be the good governance in the search for direct and tangible results for people. For example by pushing agriculture which today represents 66% of jobs. We will invest in agriculture, we will invest in the coffee industry, we will invest in rice fields, so that Haiti can produce 300.000 metric tons of rice per year, while today we produce only 70,000."
