Given the level of work involved in the ULCC, the resources available are insufficient. The 36 million bottles of the institution’s annual budget does not allow it to fulfill its functions. Mr. Atouriste believes that its role is to assess the situation in order to adjust the shooting. “We need more resources to enable the institution to deliver the goods properly,” he trumpeted. This man in his fifties is preparing to seek a readjustment of the budget of the ULCC. He said they had the President’s promise to this effect.

One thing that prevents the ULCC to do its job, it is the weak judicial system, according to Antoine Atouriste. A bill from 2009 how it works awaiting publication also slows down the smooth running of this organization.

The fight against corruption is very complex, in the opinion of this father of four. It requires a collective, concerted action by all sectors of national life. “We need first of all the people know what corruption is. It is part of our culture and is found everywhere throughout the public administration with the racketeers … “

The public and state officials should be educated and the cost and consequences of corruption and what it represents as loss for the country, advance man who spent 35 years in Public Administration, a environment he knew very well. In the strategy of the institution, a communications campaign is planned.

The former colonel plans to set up an observatory that will follow, with the authorities of the country, the use of all grants and loans for the construction of roads, schools, hospitals etc..

Under the gaze of its officers, Antoine Atouriste indicates that the fight against corruption is for all sectors of national life. “For there to be corruption, he must be a bribe, a corrupt and opportunity. “

The ULCC has no need of complaint or grievances to investigate a person or institution, says the doctoral student in education. “Once there is suspicion or presumption of corruption, the ULCC can automatically intervene to investigate whatever entity of public administration throughout the national territory. If the elements of corruption are identified, the case is forwarded to prosecutors for legal suites, “says Atouriste. But if there is no need to continue and that this is a case that requires an administrative decision, recommendations will be made.

Declaration of assets: 27.5% of government-Martelly Conille did

However, many ministers and secretaries of state have not yet subscribed to this requirement. In total, 27.5% of the resigning government declared their assets. This is well below the average and Antoine Atouriste acknowledged.

Upon arrival at the head of the ULCC, Antoine Atouriste had already sent a letter to concerned for this purpose. If they do not listen, they will be punished according to law, he threatens. Even resigning, the members of that government must respect the law on declaration of assets.

Ms. Pierre-Louis has yet to wait before knowing his fate. “The investigation is ongoing. Results will be reported in due course. Whether to continue the investigation will be forwarded to prosecutors for legal suites, “says CEO of the ULCC.

Moreover, in regard to the revision of contracts signed under the government of Jean-Max Bellerive launched by the outgoing Prime Minister, Antoine Atouriste indicates that the audit commissioned by Garry Conille will determine whether there are indicators of corruption . For now, the ULCC is awaiting the results, he said.

Nothing on the ULCC against former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide

There are no records regarding former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to study the ULCC currently. “All I can say is that these are cases predate the creation of the ULCC,” said the colonel, pointing out that his institution has never been affected in one case with respect to the head of Lavalas. There is not only the ULCC which is a government entity dealing with corruption. There is also the Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes, the UCREF, the General Inspectorate of Finance, highlights the degree in economics.

By participating in the program’s inception, the U.S. ambassador, Kenneth Merten, does not consider this as a new program of assistance to Haiti. “To grow, Haiti needs more than just support, this country needs investment,” said the diplomat, supporting the importance of such a project for Haiti, as small and medium enterprises are the main engines of the Haitian economy. This new program will allow the press, according to Mr. Merten, expand the government’s tax base. The ambassador also said that real change and transformation in Haiti can only come from private sector investment. However, the U.S. ambassador acknowledges that limited access to funding limits the ability of SMEs to grow, hence the importance and rationale for this new program.

“I am optimistic about the future of Haiti,” hammered Merten, saying, however, hope that the Haitian authorities truly open business in Haiti. The diplomat urged the authorities to act quickly. “We would like to work with you, but you must act quickly,” said the diplomat at end of mission in Haiti, saying that if people’s expectations, the country can switch into a pit.

Spoiled by his profession, the Minister of Trade and Industry resigned, Professor Wilson Laleau, as has delivered a course of Haitian economy to a diversified assistance Troquet at Le Saint-Marc. “The LEAD program is a strategic”, saying that this program is part of the four E’s administration in power. He sees the investment as the only guarantor of national development, thus negating the assistant foreign countries. “The only help that can be beneficial for a country is one that can do it without public support,” he said, parodying the words of an African president.

The director of this program, Mr. Ross Croulet, said the grants would be equal to domestic investment and / or external. It has already announced the activities of his institution. “Over the next three weeks we will launch the first business plan competition,” he promised. For PADF Deputy Executive Director, Ms. Judith Hermanson, at the end of the next four years the LEAD program, we will have a thriving private sector and a healthy economy.

City hosted the launch of the LEAD program, Saint-Marc, usually the lower Artibonite, is one of three priority areas, according to Ambassador Merten, the U.S. government aid. “Entrepreneurs of the lower Artibonite are ready to seize these opportunities,” said the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Lower Artibonite, Claude Derenoncourt, but said they did not need baskets. According to Mr. Derenoncourt, contractors of St. Mark who will participate in this program will not disappoint the initiators.
