Security was no problem, over the three days of carnival, as the massive crowd behaved with good humor.

Unfortunately, there was widespread police brutality as officers struck out, at random people, with “Batons fer” – steel batons. There was also an incident – unreported in any state controlled media – in which a police officer, on one of the barricades, opened fire with an automatic weapon, injuring and killing carnival celebrants.

Many senior PNH officers were drunk on duty, as were many of their staff.

In fact, Chief Mario Andresol was very drunk on the last night of carnival and was in no condition to act when someone cut off electrical power to downtown Port-au-Prince. Some ,in the PNH leadership, believe Andresol was responsible for this outrage as a move to create chaos and force President Martelly to keep him on as Chief of the PNH. He and Martelly had a major argument shortly before the power was cut.

Andresol is lobbying for a renewed contract and traveled to Cap Haitian for meetings with Senator Moise Jean Charles. He hopes the Senator will work for him.

Andresol is telling everyone that the American Embassy is backing his continued retention as Chief of the PNH.

Two other names have been mentioned, as possible replacements for Andresol Jackie Nau and Godson Orelus, the Director of the Central Directorate of Judicial Police (DCPJ). Many believe that Orelus is an extremely good administrative officer, but not a leader. On the other hand, those who have known and worked with Jackie Nau, say that he has all the qualities to lead the PNH at a time when leadership is key to regrouping and retraining this important factor in Haiti’s life.

Anything would be better that an extended term for Mario Andresol who has allowed his ego to overwhelm common sense. He now travels with an entourage that exceed President Martelly’s in size and noise.

Time to select a new head for the PNH.

Time to bid Mario Andresol good bye.

  1. Mario Andresol has a box in his office.

    PNH officers, from all over the country, bring envelopes containing cash, and drop these in Andresol’s box. Andresol has taken advantage of the Americans’ goodwill for too long. We forced him on the nation, after Leon Charles left the country.

    We have discovered that Andresol is not what the Los Angeles Times made him out to be.

    In any case, it is time for a change so that President Martelly can have a Chief of his choice. At the present, he really doesn’t have control of Andresol and Andresol does not have control of the PNH.

    A new broom sweeps clean.

    Time for a new broom.

  2. President Martelly must make a decisive movement soon or we will have another mess. Andresol has his contrat finished on 18 August and we should already know his replacement.
    Andresol has been a non effective chief and has none of the management abilities we need.
    Most of all, he is not loyal to President Martelly.

  3. I was just at the US Embassy and saw Reginaqld Delva there. He said he was doing a background check on Jacques Nau for police chief

  4. Time for change if Martelly to control PNH.
    Andresol has already proved to be non-acceptable.
    Pick someone else – Michel.

  5. When he was with Aristide PNH Andresol was into drugs like many others. He was praised like a hero by the Los Angeles Times, when he wasn’t.
    Andresol should be replaced by anyone.Give us a chance for a new start.

  6. Morale in PNH very bad.
    Officers have not had new shirts in 4 years. Can not obtain new PNH patches. Haven’t had shoes issued. People stealing money that is supposed to feed them. Their pay is very low.
    And Andresol is making money all the time, while he knows his men are sufferors.
    Anything is better. Andresol must be replaced by someone new.
