THE SHARING OF RESPONSIBILITIES SEEN BY GARRY CONILLE
(Haiti Libre) -

After his ratification, in the Senate Tuesday, Dr. Garry Conille is preparing his cabinet in consultation with President Martelly. Aware of the necessity of obtaining a unifying and majority vote in both houses on the cabinet and his policy statement of government, the ratified Prime Minister explains what he and the President want to say by the sharing responsibilities.

"I will meet the President of the Republic on this issue. As you know, the Constitution provides that the Prime Minister composes the cabinet in consultation with the President, but we are not approaching the subject in this way. We believe that it is very important to have a sharing of responsibilities.

The task ahead, and the challenges ahead are enormous. It will be necessary that each person, every group, each entity contributes first to the definition of the vision and then to the definition of the instruments .... and we will really see a system where each individual, each party can contribute. So we are really talking about the sharing of responsibilities.

We will see with all partners, how they can contribute to the national efforts. With conviction, the President also expressed on several occasions, ... that we must govern together. We are already in consultation with partners. I met with political parties,... I met the Deputies and Senators to see first how we can agree on what we want to achieve, ... agree on where we want to bring the country on the basis of mandates that those elected have received. Then we will of course agree on the instruments and also on the contribution of each other, ... so it is in this way that we will approach it [the ministerial cabinet].

We have never approached it in the form of negotiations for a position, ... this approach is part of a reflection on where the country should go and on what should be the contribution of each group in order to make progress..."
