Ayiti: Premye Minis rejte Akizasyon nan atak rasis

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (defend.ht) - Prime Minister-resigned, Dr. Garry Conille, on Wednesday rejected allegations by some Dominican politicians who have described his actions as an "incentive-driven xenophobic hatred, and racist attack," against Dominicans.

The prime minister, currently auditing a series of contracts signed in May 2011 under the emergency law that followed the earthquake of 2010 said his audit is sound and consistent with "universally accepted rules of transparency and good governance."

Prime Minister Conille finds that in all countries and institutions where emergency laws are in place to expedite transactions, an audit usually follows and stressed in the Dominican paper, Listin jounal that had "had not yet reason to believe that all Dominican companies have violated the laws of the country, in reference to contracts obtained by several foreign companies during the emergency period and which today are the subject of an audit commission."

Conille said that Dominican companies "have worked and are still working satisfactorily" in Haiti, and considered that it is for public bodies responsible for overseeing the procurement of their country, in this case to determine whether there has been any infringement.
