Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson Applauds Haiti's Appointment of a Provisional President

Statement

The appointment of Senator Jocelerme Privert to serve as Haiti's provisional president is good news. The fact that lawmakers moved so swiftly is a positive sign that could help ease the international community's lingering concerns. I hope the interim government will also move swiftly to hold the presidential and legislative elections so that Haiti's leaders can focus their attention on the country's urgent needs, such as the current food insecurity crisis, building schools and hospitals, and upgrading its infrastructure.
