News & Analysis This Month/Supplement / Haiti: Nine new general directos

In the eyes of Haiti's President Martelly, nine new super-qualified general-directors (including Boston's Yves Germain), but good only for Haiti, Africa

Neuf nouveaux directeurs g�n�raux

Les neufs nouveaux directeurs

Michel Martelly a donn� l�investiture vendredi � une dizaine de nouveaux directeurs g�n�raux qu�il vient de placer � la t�te d�importantes institutions de l�Etat, dont des organismes autonomes d�concentr�s, signe d�une volont� manifeste du Pr�sident de la r�publique de marquer, de mani�re peu orthodoxe, son territoire � la veille de l�arriv�e maintenant quasi-certaine d�un nouveau gouvernement.

Ces nominations marquent aussi la mise � l��cart de plusieurs fonctionnaires de carri�re, qui �taient en poste sous l�ancienne administration Pr�val, et une repr�sentation tr�s significative au sein du pouvoir des duvali�ristes et alli�s.

Affirmant avoir fait choix des nouveaux responsables sur la base de leur comp�tence, le chef de l�Etat a insist� sur la n�cessit� pour eux de m�riter sa confiance et de tenir compte des attentes de la population dans la gestion des institutions publiques.

Michel Martelly s�exprimait lors d�une c�r�monie organis�e au Palais National (si�ge de la Pr�sidence) au moment m�me o�, au Parlement, les D�put�s ratifiaient massivement son Premier ministre d�sign�, Garry Conille.

Josefa Raymond Gauthier, nomm�e � la t�te du Fonds d�assistance �conomique et sociale (FAES). Ancienne conseill�re �lectorale et responsable de la fondation Digicel.

. Claude Raymond Jr, directeur g�n�ral adjoint au service d�immigration et d��migration o� il assistera l�actuel directeur g�n�ral Roland Chavannes, ancien g�n�ral de l�arm�e.

Claude Raymond Jr est le fils de feu le g�n�ral Claude Raymond.

. Francel Saintilien : directeur g�n�ral de l�Administration g�n�rale des douanes (AGD), nomm� en remplacement de Jean-Jacques Valentin.

. Pierre Andr� Laguerre qui succ�de � l�Autorit� a�roportuaire nationale (AAN) � Carl Ferrailleur

. Donald Paraison, directeur g�n�ral du Service m�tropolitain de collecte des r�sidus solides (SMCRS) o� il remplace Paul�mon Germain

. Yves Germain nomm� au Centre national des �quipements (CNE)

. Jean Marc Flambert � l�Office national de l�aviation civile (OFNAC)

. Jean Marie Guillaume au Conseil national des t�l�communications (CONATEL)

. Et Patricia Dominique J. Martin qui devient la coordonnatrice du Programme national de cantines scolaires (PNCS).

Ces nominations ainsi que celles des dix d�l�gu�s d�partementaux ont fait l�objet de critiques de la part de juristes et parlementaires qui estiment que le Pr�sident Martelly -toujours priv� de gouvernement- est en train de s�aventurer sur la pente dangereuse de la violation de la constitution. spp/Radio Kiskeya

Who is Magalie Bosquet? To begin with, she is President Martelly's wife, Sophia, chief of staff.

Ms. Bosquet, a former longtime resident of Miami, until her appointment to the said phantom position, is the only daughter and child of Haiti's notorious chief of Tonton Macoute (Duvaliers' bloodthirsty militia) chiefs, the late Madame Max Adolphe, who imprisoned and murdered untold number of Haitians.

Douche (his nickname), a male cousin of hers and former tyrant Duvaliers' well-known Fort Dimanche prison (the death chamber chief was illiterate, still he received a monthly check from each one of the dirt-poor nation' ministries) super-commander, was forced to execute her while standing in front of a grave dig hours earlier only for so.

Ms. Adolphe was hiding in the countryside, near central Haiti's town of Mirebalais, her place of birth. There were reasons for so. She did not want to be captured alive by mobs looking for her and then her lifeless body set on fire (Pere Lebrun or necklace), after she was savagely killed - the fate on an incalculable number of former torturers, murderers in the revolted Caribbean nation.

Her death occurred a few weeks after Baby Tyrant Doc Duvalier was forced to depart Haiti for France - on February 7, 1986.

Enraged, after she learned that Douche, a family member and partner in odious crimes, was the one who executed her mother, Ms. Bosquet evicted him from her mother's big house, in Merebalais, where the forced executioner of criminal Ms. Adolphe took residence. This, in fact, days after Ms. Adolphe, who contracted marriage with Max Adolphe - a dentist by training and profession, former baby Duvalier's minister of health - was sent to the dark embrace of death.

Never did Ms. Adolphe flee Haiti dressing as a nun. Never was she then hiding at her nephew Dumond Bosquest's resident, in North Cambridge, in the state of Massachusetts, where longtime activist Frantz Minuty, others reportedly went searching for, perhaps, at least, to make a civilian arrest - all, big tales.

For the record, Mr. Dumond was a victim of her of own bestial aunt who, at gunpoint, forced him to marry his first wife against his will. This was done by way of 'Bien Etre Social' or Department of Social and Human Services - literally, a government ministry, which sole purpose of existence, it seemed like, since it barely rendered other relevant services to the general polulation, was to use the relevant and applicable laws of the state, as deemed necessary, to marry citizens, even when they were not really inclined to say "I do; rich or poor, we will be together forever."
