Haiti gets new Prime Minister as Government resigns
A new Prime Minister has been appointed in Haiti following the resignation of the government.
President Jovenel Moise who made the appointment on Wednesday, said the change was aimed at tackling insecurity in the country, which is grappling with a rise in violence and ongoing political crisis.
The resignation of the government, which he accepted, will make it possible to address the glaring problem of insecurity and continue discussions with a view to reaching the consensus necessary for the political and institutional stability of our country.
The new prime minister is Claude Joseph, currently the minister for foreign affairs and is the sixth Prime Minister to be appointed in the four years of Noise administration.
Joseph replaces Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe, who also leads the Superior Council of the National Police and presided over the rise in insecurity.
