Here are some pictures as Josué Pierre Louis replaced Lucien Francoeur as Secretary General of the Primature in Haiti

The former Minister of Justice and the President of the Permanent Electoral Council Josue Pierre Louis who was recently rejected by Belgium as Haiti's ambassador to Brussels and to the Eurpean Union, because of his alleged involvement in a rape to one of his colleagues in November 2012, has been designated by Haiti's Prime Minster Evans Paul as the Primature's Secretary General. The Prime Minister Paul described him as an integral part of the political life in Haiti and he fervently hoped he contributes his talent for the public administration. His appointment as the Secretary General of Primature has caused an uproar among the women's rights organizations in Haiti and abroad, accusing the Haitian President and his Prime Minister of impunity. However, the former Minister of Justice was never held guilty by a court of law, nor the rape charge against him was ever dismissed. No Haitian court has ever bothered to shed light on the myriad of accusations against him.

Senator Steven Benoît has always remained very vocal in criticizing the public institutions in Haiti. Recently, on February 3rd, he has said that he does not recognize the constitutionality of the government of Prime Minister, Paul Evans. The ministers who compose Evans cabinet, were appointed by illegal and unconstitutional means, not constitutionally approved by the Parliament presently defunct. They were appointed without receiving their discharge of the Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes (CSC / CA) as required under the constitution. Earlier on another occasion, he had mentioned that the government under the leadership of President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe was the most corrupt government that the country has ever had. The present Senate is 'de facto' as with only 10 existing members it cannot sanction the government.

Minister of Communication, Rotchild FRANCOIS JR, receiving his folder from Haitian President Michel Joseph Martelly

Accusations against President Martelly have morphed slightly, away from his instigating the stalemate that led to the dissolution of parliament and his eventual rule by decree, to his now plotting to secure his chosen successor - amidst all this, he has promised not to alter the country's constitution to seek another term, having been at the head since 2011.

The new members who have been sworn in include Carel Alexandre, Secretary of State for Public Security; Yves Germain Joseph, Planning Minister; as well as six previous members of the cabinet such as the ministers of defence, health and foreign affairs. These changes come just before a council of 15 nations is set to descend upon Haiti to undertake a mission of fact finding. More changes are expected, including the creation of a 9-member electoral council, all with the aim of producing an election for the country before another year runs out.
