Haiti-Corruption: the Minister of the Interior at the heart of a scandal

Amos ZEPHIRIN

For his official residence and to house his bar, DG Amos ZÉPHIRIN signs a contract with the Hotel MONTANA, which costs the State several million gourdes per month.

Amos ZÉPHIRIN, recently embezzled 114Million (114,000,000) Gourdes which were to be used to finance a propaganda campaign for the referendum that President Jovenel MOÏSE had desired.

Today, a source close to the Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Communities admitted that Amos ZÉPHIRIN never set foot in the Ministry of the Interior, because he rented a room to spend the night and another to set up his office at the Hotel Montana.

Despite the level of insecurity, hunger, etc., large sums of money are being wasted. The worst is not only the general management of the Ministry of the Interior and local authorities which operates in a hotel room, there is also the parliament, the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Public Health… to name just a few.

Alas! Nowadays, all institutions placed to help shed light on dubiously spent or misappropriated funds are subjugated by corrupt people or bandits.
