Daniel-Gerard Rouzier back pedaling on statement related to reconstruction commission

" I am open for discussion as to the future of the earthquake reconstruction commission ", said recently the new Haitian prime Minister designed Daniel-Gerard Rouzier. This is definitely a shift from his previous statement.

Did he really think he could do that?

To put things in perspective, in a previous interview with the press, the Prime Minister designated, Daniel-Gerard Rouzier, expressed his desire to replace the current earthquake reconstruction commission that is co-shared by the former United States President Bill Clinton and former Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.

Would you agree with me that the decision to get ride of the commission was Rouzier's first "Boubou" on the job that he does not even have yet?

Do you know that the commission that Daniel-Gerard Rouzier is criticizing is the same commission that the international donors insisted to put in place to prevent corruption. The commission was established following the 2010 earthquake to insure that Haiti reconstruction would be done in an orderly fashion and prevent corruption. The commission has representatives from many donor countries such as U.S., France, and other major contributors.

QUESTIONS:

Where does the sudden openness of Daniel-Gerard Rouzier to be open for discussion originate from?

Did he suddenly have a change of mind or was that is first misstep
Does anyone agree with me that it was in fact a "Boubou" from Daniel-Gerard Rouzier?

Would you classify this as a misstep or worst, that he put his foot into his mouth?

So according to you thiis commission is irremplacable?

I don't know about you but for what I've recently in Haiti there is absolutly no trace of rconstruction.

I doubt that anyone in Micky government would do someting good for this country but, for Godsake can we really defend that commission.

Everywhere, everyone is asking what the hell they are doing?

Its been 18 months already.

I say "replace

It's time for haitian people to stay shoulder to shoulder, it's time for the political parties to be aware of where we're from, where we are, and how far we have to go. Since 1804 we've been killing each other for the reason of power.However, more and more haitians are dyind of hunger and most of the nation are illiterate.There's no health care, no sanitation services, no security, and no electricity.

We treat ourselves like animals.

we spend our time in political unrest.

Other nations divide us and play us like a game. we call ourselves"First black independent nation".When will we use what we call in French"L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE?Hey, we can fix Haiti, so it can become once more"LA PERLE DES ANTILLES".I love Haiti and my nation.

Isn't it time for us to come together as one for the sake of our country?

Whether it's Michel Martelly or Daniel Rouzier, Rene Preval, Jean Bertrand Aristide and all the ones before them, they are people like us and will make mistakes once in a while.

Yes I think Daniel Rouzier made a boubou as you call it but who am I to say that I wouldn't make the same mistake or do even worst than he has so far. The question is, what have I done in the past and what am I doing now to help them help our country other than opening my big mouth and be judgmental every chance I get. A true haitian supports any and all elected government, not for personal reasons or needs but simply because at the end of the day, it is all about Haiti.

The government of Michel Martelly is trying to take charge of what they were voted for.

I think we should all encourage their effort.

It will not be easy, considering where we have been for the past thirty years.

However, we must take charge.

We must get our country back

Thanks for trying Mr. President and mr. Prime Minister

Haiti is the only counntry where anyone can come and do whatever they want.

I agree with the Prime Minister designated to take charge of things.

At some point, we have to take charge of our own problem.

Haiti is the only country where the NGOs have more power than the government.

We elected a government to govern Haiti.

We did not elect the earthquake reconstruction commission

They ned to follow the rulels established by the Haitian

This is not something I can agree with. I am a Haitian and a Nationalist.

The country of Haiti belongs to Haitians and noone else.

I do not have any problem if someone from the outside wants to help me. However that person can not take over and dictate how to live

It is about time that we Haitians take matters into our own hands.

I can govern our country.

We just need a few honest people in

This is the case of a prime minister without experience.

If Daniel-Gerard Rouzier wants to be an effective prime minister for haiti, first he need to learn to control his mouth.

There are certain things a person of authority does not say when they do not know much or not certain about it

many times, there are things that someone of authority does not say, even if they know everything about it

I agree that it was a boubou as the Haitian Joudalist
