Here is the Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe taking the time to fix the tie of a child.

Through his business connections, he gained entry into the political and social world of Haiti, and in time was appointed Special Advisor to Haiti's President Martelly. Lamothe quit his businesses to avoid any improprieties, resulting from conflicts of interest. In 2011, at former President Bill Clinton's invitation, Lamothe co-chaired with Clinton the Presidential Advisory Council for the Economic Development and Investment in Haiti. Shortly thereafter he accepted an appointment as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship of Haiti.

In 2012, Martelly nominated Lamothe for Prime Minister. He easily won approval from Parliament, 19 to 3 in the Senate and 62 to 3 in the Chamber of Deputies. He was installed on May 4, 2012.

At the recommendation of the Consultative Committee and Martelly's request, Lamothe tendered his resignation to help pave the way for a new government to be formed at the demands of the increasingly powerful opposition.

There has been an accusation this week by Senator Edwin Zenny who stated that Senator Moïse Jean-Charles called him Afranchi. These two got it wrong. The way democracy is supposed to work is that instead of having fights between states or regions within a country, the battle takes pace in the Senate or House of Representatives. However, for Senator Moïse Jean-Charles; and Edwin Zenny, they are letting their personal distaste for each other blind their judgment .

Guys, you are paid to take care of the business of the people who voted for you.

Do you think Haiti deserves better. a of now, the country remains unovernable.
