Prime Minister Ariel Henry dismissed two government officials this week for seeking to interview him regarding President Jovenel Moïse's assassination.
Henry recently dismissed officials seeking to interview him as part of the investigation into the assassination, including the former justice minister and Port-au-Prince's chief prosecutor. The prosecutor, Bed-Ford Claude, asked to interview Henry on Tuesday about two phone conversations the prime minister allegedly had with a key suspect just hours after the killing, the AP said.
Quitel also said he aims to fight gangs and reduce lengthy pretrial detentions, with thousands of people languishing in prison for years without a single hearing. The abrupt firings and resignation have led some to question the future of the Tèt Kale party in power as the investigation into Moïse's killing continues while Haiti prepares for legislative and presidential elections scheduled for early November.
