Who is this guy, and how long has he been around?

An article by Kim Ives of Haïit-Liberté, was released that characterized the new administration as "arch-conservative" and in search of a "devotee of neo-liberalism" , of whom they call Daniel Rouzier, Prime Minister-designate.

The first thing that came to mind is, who is this guy? Furthermore, and how long has he been around? Is he Haitian? Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

We know that Kim Ives is his name, and he is an editor at Haïti-Liberte. He seems upset at Haitian achievement pointing out to Rouzier's chairmanship of an electrical power grid who's operating cost are $59.5M[USD]. Ives' personality profile consists of accolades which he suffices as reasons to characterize an individual.

Ives says Rouzier's founding and managing of Haiti's Sun Auto makes him "bourgeoisie". Food for the Poor is Christian and the third largest charity in the United States. Things that are normally noble as faults in the Haitian.

The article continues to list the many accomplishments of Daniel Gerard Rouzier, his Vice-Presidency in Food for the Poor and having authored some published books. Ives' piece noted his Ivy League education, he also made note of the Christian burials afforded to earthquake victims that Rouzier managed to arrange.

He also sits on the board of the Haitian investment bank PromoCapital and the Haitian Finance Company for Development (SOFIHDES) as well as the American Chamber of Commerce in Haiti.

Ives continues. After lengthy adulation of the Prime Minister-designate Ives followed up with a complex breakdown of how institutions, that never really existed in the first place, will be lost if this guy becomes Prime Minister.

Who is this guy?
