The numerous engagements of Minister Kathia Verdier (MHAVE) paint the picture of a frenetic yet unproductive ministerial activity. A succession of national and international meetings, a packed diplomatic schedule—but what concrete results for the Haitian people?

The calendar speaks volumes: from the DCPJ to the National Archives, from the ONI to the DIE, and through meetings at the American, Mexican, and Taiwanese embassies, Minister Verdier has multiplied “working meetings” and “audiences.”

Yet, it is clear that this whirlwind of protocol has produced no significant progress in addressing the ministry’s critical issues—migration, identification, and vital international cooperation. The shadow of unproductivity looms over this intense surface-level activity.

Even more troubling is the pattern that seems to have taken hold. As soon as this unflattering assessment was made public, what does the minister do? She doubles down. In June 2025, she embarks on a new international tour: the Dominican Republic, Chile, Brazil… Under the guise of diplomacy, it’s once again the well-oiled machinery of per diems that kicks into gear.

The Chilean episode casts a particularly harsh light on these potential excesses. Far from addressing the urgent concerns of Haitians seeking documentation, security, or prospects, Minister Verdier poses as a model to promote KAÏ rum.

This image, indecent in the context of a national crisis, raises a host of questions. What is the connection between this Chile-based commercial venture and the core missions of the MHAVE? Why is the minister lending her image to this product? And above all, what interests are at play behind this operation?
