Some fundamental solutions for haiti!

< Previous | Home | Next >

Haiti will never experience total progress as long as the total power is concentrated in the hand of just one person, the president.

As for other modern governments, Haiti too has a 3 branches of government, which are: the executive, the legislative and the judiciary.

But unfortunately, there is no "Check and Balance" and that must change.

The political reality in Haiti is that all government officials in Haiti, including all the judges, work for one person, the president.

What make me say that?

For example, all the judges are appointed by either the president, the prime minister or by the minister of justice.

In a perfect world you work for the person who hired you. In Haiti, many judges cannot do a good work because they are to afraid of getting fired if they reale this person or condemn that person.

Like in United States, elected judges answer to nobody.

Therefore I suggest:
1) there is an ammendment to the constitution calling for all judges to be elected in order to have an impartial and an independent judicial system.

Only judges of the high court (La Cours de Cassassion) who must get appointed by the president.

2) Another ammendment to the constituion calling for each department to have an elected governor with some otonomy to decide the fate of their own department.

Each department will have its own police force The governors will work to bring economic development to their own respective department, have their own fiscal budget and compete for federal matching funds from P-A-P.
3) Haiti must get rid of prime minister post beacause it is easier for the people to work with only the president.

4) An ammendment to the constitution honoring and recognizing "dual citizenships) and allow them all to fully participate in the political process of their country, Haiti.

5) The constitution must also give the right and autority to all senators and deputees to petition foreign and local investors to invest in the communities they represent.

As it stands for the past 203 years only the president has that kind of power and authority to loby investors.

The president is the head of the government, but he is one person.

Every elected official should be able to go overseas and around the country pleading with investors to come and invest in their districts and hometowns.

Senators and deputees must not come to P-A-P to just make laws, speaking French, driving tet bef, drinking wisky and courting beautiful women only. They were elected by the people to work for them, to bring change and hope to each and every Haitian household.

The power needs to be decentralized.
