Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé unveiled a major reshufflng of his cabinet on Tuesday, retaining just five ministers in a new government largely consisting of untested figures endorsed by political parties and groups that recently signed a sweeping national accord. In welcoming the group during a swearing-in ceremony, Fils-Aimé made an impassioned appeal for civic engagement in Haiti and insisted on the need for his new cabinet to take resolute action.
“The time for fine speeches is over. Today is the time for action,” he said, as he urged his new ministers to “adopt sound, rigorous, and transparent management of public resources.”
