In 1997, former President, Rene Preval was head of a ceremony held to distribute land to farmers equaling about an acre each. The eyes and ears of the nation turned to the event as the plan was considered a political move. They expressed the feeling that the act wasn't a smart one for a land reform answer, but a political strategy aimed at gaining favor for Preval.
