Minister of Planification, Yves Germain JOSEPH
Here is a picture of Minister of Plannification, Yves Germain JOSEPH and President Michel Martelly.

When issues began last year that would lead to the current dissolution of parliament, the governing administration blamed the opposition senators, and they in turn blamed the President.
