Martelly Taps Former Clinton Aide for PM
Garry Conille, a former aide to former US President Bill Clinton, has been tapped as the next appointment for Haiti’s as-yet-unfilled prime minister position, according to Chamber of Deputies President Saurel Jacinthe. Conille was the former chief of staff for Clinton in his capacity as the UN’s special envoy to Haiti. Without a prime minister, Haiti cannot former a government, leading to a political stalemate in the country. [AP via San Francisco Chronicle]
