When I came in, Haiti was not governed by Haitians anymore. Probably mostly by NGOs. And that has done what to Haiti? It has weakened our institution.
Donors need to know what their money is being used for.
The State should have made sure the money given to the NGOs was used according to a global plan for Haiti; not doing whatever they want. They should be supervised and have to report and make sure the money is being used properly. They are here, but we are seeing no results.
I don't want to force the peacekeeping nations to feel like I'm pushing them out.
Any MP has to have a proper family life, they have to have support of their partner.
