Bill Clinton is now running Haiti

Media_httpwwwprevalha_tulpb

The Haitian Parliament ratified a law extending by 18 months the state of emergency that President René Préval declared after the earthquake in January. The Parliament also formally ceded its powers over finances and reconstruction, during the state of emergency, to a foreign-led Interim Commission for the Reconstruction of Haiti (CIRH).

The majority of members on the CIRH are foreign. The commission is headed by UN Special Envoy Bill Clinton and Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive. The only accountability or oversight measure is veto power by Préval. Few expect him to employ his veto option, in part because of possible repercussions, in terms of the dollar flow, by the CIRH.
