Pierre Espérance, executive director of the National Human Rights Defense Network (RNDDH), has leveled serious accusations of corruption and nepotism against the leadership of the National Education Fund (FNE).
He specifically targets Sterline Civil, the current director of the institution, whom he describes as a “puppet” in the hands of her partner, Corvington Jean. According to Espérance, Jean effectively wields executive power within the FNE.
Climate of Fear and Intimidation
The human rights advocate claims that Corvington Jean has imposed a climate of fear and intimidation among FNE employees, paralyzing the institution’s normal operations.
Even more concerning, Jean is allegedly responsible for widespread appointments based on family ties, placing relatives in strategic positions—a practice that starkly contradicts his previous public stance against nepotism in public administration.
Pressure on the Press
According to Espérance, Corvington Jean has attempted to manipulate the press by paying certain journalists to publish favorable articles about Sterline Civil while trying to bribe those who dare to criticize his management.
These revelations raise serious concerns about the integrity and transparency of the FNE’s current leadership, an institution critical to the country’s educational future.
