Haiti’s PM says 6 former election officials arrested for allegedly taking government property

By Associated Press, Published: June 5
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Six former election officials in Haiti were arrested Tuesday on charges of misappropriating government property, the office of Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe said.

Lamothe’s office didn’t release the names of the individuals, but said a chief prosecutor and a judge made the arrests after authorities found the stolen government property. The property that was confiscated included 460 laptops, 160 photovoltaic panels and 207 memory cards, it said.

Haitian President Michel Martelly fired the nine-member electoral council in December through a presidential decree. His office at the time also ordered the ousted officials to return any government property.

Last month, the terms of one-third of the Senate, or 10 seats, expired because legislative elections weren’t held in time to fill the vacancy. The government is expected to organize legislative elections for the empty Senate seats as well as mayoral posts, but it’s unclear when the vote will be held.

According to precedent, the new election commission still to be named will likely be composed of the president’s allies.

The earlier council, whose members were appointed by former President Rene Preval, oversaw an election that was marred with fraud and irregularities and almost cost Martelly the presidency.

The planned election will prove critical to the Martelly administration as it tries to jump start reconstruction efforts following the 2010 earthquake. Martelly has few supporters in either house of Parliament, and his first year in office was marred with sparring with lawmakers.

Yo pap akize yo pou Frod ki mete Mateli kom prezidan Ayiti?

Mwen pa p di ke AYISYEN pi vòlò pase pèsonn ;men se yon mizè DOMINIKEN yo ap pase ak vòlò ayisyen yo.Gen yon ayisyen ki al koupe kòd an fè ki kenbe ""pon sispandi"" DUARTE an .Misye koupe kòd an fè pou l al revann.Se yon bagay ki mete vi moun ki ap kondwi sou pon an ,an danje.
Gen yon lòt ayisyen tou ke yo arete ;misye amize l al kidnape timoun ann AYITI e li mete yo lan lari SANTO DOMINGO pou yo mande pou li.Misye bat yo ,lè yo pa pote lajan ase pou li.

Se bagay sa yo ki mete gouvènman DOMINIKEN an sou presyon ki fè y ap mande yon pakèt garanti ,papye,sè jou si,pou yo kite AYISYEN travèse fwontyè an.

nanpren peyi ki ka kite nenpot moun rantre ladann nenpot ki lè yo vle.si dominiken ap chache regilarise imigratyon lakay yo se dwa yo.

Bagay vòlò METAL lan vin yon epidemi sou zile KISKEYA a.Gang yo vin TRANSFRONTALYE,AYISYEN mele ak DOMINIKEN.Ann AYITI gouvènman an pa fouti elektrifye zòn rekile yo .Paske pou tan pou yo mete WOT TANSYON yo ;vòlò gen tan ale ak KAB yo ;se menm bagay ak FIL TELEFÒN yo .
Se yon gwo dilèm ;ke e DOMINIKEN yo e AYISYEN yo poko jwenn yon repons pou li.
Dominiken YO ,yomenm ,kòm gen plis pou vòlò ;menm siy sou wout yo,vòlò prale ak yo;e se AYISYEN mele ak DOMINIKEN ki ap fè travay sa a.
