One month into Laurent Saint-Cyr’s tenure as the rotating president of Haiti’s
Transitional Presidential Council (CPT),
the private sector representative has yet to deliver any significant initiatives
to steer the country out of its persistent instability and insecurity.
Incompetent and unproductive ministers and directors general
remain firmly entrenched in their posts—
a clear indication of a troubling lack of leadership
from the former member of the High Transitional Council (HCT).
No Reforms, No Progress
On the administrative front, no meaningful reforms have been announced.
Promises of streamlined governance, transparency, or institutional revival
remain mere rhetoric.
On the security front, the situation is equally stagnant:
gangs continue to terrorize communities,
key roadways remain under armed control,
and police operations are either scarce or ineffective.
An Autopilot Presidency
The CPT appears to be operating on autopilot,
while the Haitian people await bold decisions to break the deadlock.
Some observers are already describing Saint-Cyr’s first month as inconsequential,
with internal political maneuvering overshadowing urgent national priorities.
A Risk of Repeating Failure
Ultimately, Laurent Saint-Cyr’s presidency of the CPT
shows little promise of delivering meaningful change for Haiti.
It risks mirroring the tenure of his predecessor, Fritz Alphonse Jean,
which many now regard as an unmitigated failure.
