PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Nov 12, CMC – Haiti’s new Prime Minister, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, took up office on Monday emphasising the critical need for security in the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country where criminal gangs continue to show disregard for law and order.
“The first essential task that will determine the success of the transition is to re-establish the security of people, property and infrastructure, food security, and freedom of movement throughout the country,” said Fils-Aimé, who controversially replaced the interim prime minister Garry Conille, who had been sworn into office four months ago.
Conille was not present at the Villa d’Acceuil where the Presidential Transitional Council (TPC) handed over to Fils-Aimé, the son of well-known Haitian activist Alix Fils-Aime, a copy of the order of his appointment and proceeded to install him in his position.
