(Haiti Libre) -

The Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe, met Thursday, June 28, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, representatives of the Economic Forum of the Private Sector of Affairs, around measures to be adopted in order to fighting against corruption, fraud and smuggling at the Haitian-Dominican border and to increase government revenue.

Other issues constituting a block to the smooth running of the Haitian economy were discussed. The Head of Government hopes for, in this perspective, an awakening citizen whose objective would be to accompany the State to address its primary mission: ensuring an efficient public service to the population. For this purpose, the involvement of the international community and of the Haitian private sector is crucial to carry out the struggle initiated by the Martelly-Lamothe government.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister convened, businessmen and businesswomen attending the meeting, to get more organized, in order to provide a joint and ordered response, against smuggling and tax fraud. This public-private partnership reflects a new era in the policy of change advocated by President Michel Martelly.

In conclusion, Laurent Lamothe said he will continue to raise awareness of the public national and international opinion on the necessity to support the efforts of the new implemented policies.
