During a ceremony marking the 10th International Day of Fight Against Corruption, Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe stressed that every sector in the government must fulfill its role in the crusade against this crime. He said that the Haiti government would continue to hold its commitment to fighting the crime, adding that Haiti will remain implementing the National Strategy for Fight Against Corruption. He also called on the State, the private business sector and civil society players to come together and participate in this campaign.

The prime minister expressed hope that both Houses of the Parliament will take time to study and seriously consider proposed bills and projects aimed at getting rid of corruption and ensuring efficient operations in the government and other sectors.

The director of the Unit for Combating Corruption, Antoine Atouriste, also released a statement regarding Haiti's ranking in the corruption perception report.
