COMMENT: HAITIAN-TRUTH.ORG

Unfortunately, for the government’s credibility, no one has been arrested for the theft of millions from funds set aside to purchase School Kits for children.

Obviously, too many IMPORTANT PEOPLE -drank from this well.
If a thief has a powerful sponsor – with whom he/she shares – there will never be  any Justice.

Just jails full of poor people held on Preventative Detention without appearance before a judge, often for years.

This accelerating situation could well be another key nail in the government’s coffin.
