The Haitian Network of Anti-Corruption Journalists (RHAJAC) is calling for the resignation of de facto Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, citing a "lack of credibility" to restore security and organize elections in the country. In a statement released this Saturday, the organization asserts that this demand is essential "for the survival of the nation and national sovereignty," in light of new controversies surrounding contracts deemed opaque.
The network of journalists recalls having repeatedly denounced the granting of several billion gourdes to those close to the government in the form of subsidies and contracts awarded to international firms under conditions which it considers detrimental to the interests of the Haitian state.
According to RHAJAC, the revelations made public on March 5, 2026, by the Fondasyon Je Klere (FJKL) confirm the existence of contracts described as "onerous," worth billions of dollars, and transferring certain sovereign functions of the state to foreign companies. This information, the organization states, reinforces the concerns expressed by its network for several months.
In its statement, the RHAJAC asserts that these practices demonstrate the Prime Minister's inability to fulfill the fundamental responsibilities of the State, particularly the restoration of public safety and the organization of credible elections. The network specifically denounces the alleged delegation of strategic missions, notably in the areas of security, prisons, customs, and border control, to foreign private firms.
The organization also points out that these decisions come in a context marked by massive unemployment, particularly affecting Haitian youth.
The press release also revisits Alix Didier Fils-Aimé's political career, recalling that he was a Senate candidate for the West department in the 2015 elections under the Vérité platform, alongside Professor Jacky Lumarque. The latter was disqualified from the presidential race on June 19, 2015, by the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) for failing to provide a discharge related to his management of the Working Group on Education and Training (GTEF).
RHAJAC also mentions a possible conflict of interest, referring to three subsidies of 50 million gourdes each, totaling 150 million gourdes, which were allegedly granted to Jacky Lumarque.
Faced with what it calls "a series of decisions jeopardizing the nation's interests," the network is demanding the immediate resignation of the Prime Minister. According to the network, this departure would allow for independent investigations, notably by the Anti-Corruption Unit (ULCC), to shed light on these contracts and the motivations of those who signed them.
The statement is signed by Djovany Michel, Secretary General of RHAJAC.
