(Haiti Libre) -

Gary Bodeau, Spokesman for the Primature, stated that the Independent Audit Commission for the audit of contracts awarded without tender by the Préval-Bellerive government, which must be set up in the coming days, will not have a mission to hunt those responsible from the previous government, but to ensure that state funds were committed to good conditions and allow for the current Government, a possible reallocation of a portion of these funds. "This will allow us to continue to enjoy the confidence of international donors, of our partners in the private sector and also of the population."

For several days, Jean Max Bellerive, former Prime Minister, has been fingered for the supposed granting of numerous contracts without tender, for very large amounts... Jean Max Bellerive, formally denied the accusations, and stated that only "two or three contracts have been made over-the-counter", and that all procedures were followed. The former Prime Minister, also rejected allegations that he had favored Dominican companies, claiming instead that it was Haitian businesses that took the largest part. [the total amount of all contracts awarded during the emergency period is estimated at approximately $300 million]

Jean Max Bellerive said, we have no problem for the audit of these contracts. He said that there is nothing illegal, to have given contracts for the execution of certain works with companies having performed feasibility studies. He also noted that several contracts signed under his administration, had been submitted to the team of the new government, who had made ​​changes to the terms of reference of some of them.
