A country is not a shop, declared the Director General of Mouvement Point Final, Ulysse Jean Chenet, during a radio show about the revocation of DG Rameau Normil.
Since 1995, we have never heard that X DG is excellent.
That is to say, the problem of the Haitian National Police is very deep. It is not a question of the Director General. Léon Charles was director twice. With him, a sitting President was assassinated in his private residence. Frantz Elbé was recruited as a savior to replace Léon Charles.
With Frantz Elbé, we saw the largest number of territories lost in the country. Rameau Normil, who was living in the United States, was called upon a second time to replace Frantz Elbé. 5 months later, he is already deemed incompetent. And, indeed, he was not effective in the exercise of his duties. Now, it is the turn of Mr. Vladimir Paraison, former Director of Presidential Security. With him, President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated, and subsequently, under his direction, the members of the CPT could not be installed at the National Palace. Today, the responsibility of the general directorate of the Haitian National Police is handed over to the latter to restore peace and security in the country. This is truly paradoxical. For us at Mouvement Point Final, the Haitian National Police does not have a Director General problem; it is an outdated institution that requires deep reform. Stop blaming the country's misfortunes on mere individuals.
Stop believing in a simple Director General to solve the problem of insecurity and armed gangs that we have in the country. We must first think about carrying out a deep reform within the country's law enforcement to restore peace and security.
Because the country does not have an individual problem, but rather an institutional problem. First, think about rebuilding the country's institutions, instead of seeking to put your relatives, friends, and protégés in place to the detriment of the community's interests. Ulysse Jean Chenet
