Health Ministry: Sinal Bertrand has not learned from his predecessors’ failures

Haiti’s political situation is marked by deep distrust, illustrated by the case of Sinal Bertrand.

Appointed minister under the Dec. 21 agreement, he quickly betrayed the hopes placed in him by putting his personal ambitions first.

From his arrival at the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), Bertrand sought to concentrate power by appointing people close to him to key posts, undermining the original agreement and strengthening a clique with questionable practices.

This attitude feeds a culture of betrayal and lies, exasperating figures of the agreement who are now considering his dismissal.

Bertrand has not learned from the failures of his predecessors, such as Georges Brignol Fils and Bléma Lorthé.

His quest for personal power could ultimately lead to his imminent downfall, underscoring the importance of integrity in Haitian politics.
