Jocelerme PRIVERT, first Press Conference

Here is the Video report of the first Press Conference given by Jocelerme PRIVERT.

On Friday, February 19, 2016, during his first press conference, Jocelerme Privert, the provisional president of Haiti, expressed his determination to comply with the terms of the February 6, 2016 agreement that installed him into the power, and his commitment to complete the remaining election process within his 120 day tenure. He had asked the then Prime Minister Evans Paul to suspend all appointments and installations to reduce the size of the government to save public money. On that day, he had also announced the names of six probable contenders for the Prime Minister's seat. They were: Ms. Myrlande Manigat (representing JISTIS platform), economist Fritz Jean (proposed by the civil society and human rights organizations), former Senator Edgard Leblanc Fils (proposed by the majority bloc in the Chamber of Deputies and the minority bloc in the Senate of the Republic), Jacques Sampeur (proposed by the G30), former Senator Simon Dieuseul Desras (proposed by the platform Palmis) and former Minister Joanas Gay (proposed by the platform Vérité).
