“The transition is in peril,” according to Joël Édouard Vorbe, who described on Magik 9 a concerning situation where the presidential councilors seem to compromise the future of the transition on a daily basis. He pointed out that the CPT is weakened by the refusal of three councilors involved in a corruption scandal at the National Credit Bank (BNC) to step down despite their formal indictment.

“The presidential councilors are mortgaging the future of the transition every day,” declared the Fanmi Lavalas official, reminding that the three presidential councilors – Smith Augustin, Louis Gérald Gilles, and Emmanuel Vertilaire – are not honoring their commitment to resign from the CPT once the judiciary had taken up the case.
