Port-au-Prince - Haitian Capital

Here is a picture of Joseph Pierre Richard Duplan, Mayor of Port-au-Prince.

Joseph Pierre Richard Duplan, the previous mayor of the capital city Port-au-Prince was a man committed to rebuild the city. He understood that the redevelopment cannot be done without the involvement of municipality citizens. He built community platforms to raise awareness and resolve grievances that the common people are facing. He built several municipal garages in the capital city which helped to decongest various arteries of the capital. Furthermore, under the guidance of the Ministry of Interior, he established a municipal police force to maintain law and order, manage traffic in the city, and to assist the National Police of Haiti.
