On Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Fritz Alphonse Jean, the President pro tempore of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, requested clarification on four issues he considered opaque.
Correspondence from Fritz Alphonse Jean to Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé :
“[…] Mr. Prime Minister,
The President of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) hereby requests an update on the following issues :
• The renewal of a contract with Caribbean Port Services (CPS), which would be for a period exceeding twenty-five years, three times longer than the normal nine-year renewal period. The CPT is unaware of this matter and would like to receive, as an attachment to your explanatory note, a copy of the contractual documents (old and possibly new) between the Haitian government and the CPS.
• The second point concerns the protection of the interests of the Haitian state in the case of SCIOP S.A., owner of the Oasis Hotel. Three State institutions are involved in this case as shareholders and/or creditors : ONA, BNC, and FDI. The CPT coordination learned that SCIOP S.A. is no longer able to meet its financial obligations, a situation that exposes nearly US$17 million of the assets of these three institutions. It is urgent that you inform us of the measures taken by your government to address this risk.
• The third point concerns the passport production system. The logistics of passport production appear to be at a serious impasse. Given the sensitivity of this process from a national security perspective, it is important to dispel any misunderstandings among the public and our international partners. The President of the CPT would be grateful if you could provide him with the tender documents relating to the selection of a service provider to enable the Haitian government to provide quality services to the population.
• The fourth point concerns the extraordinary measures taken to combat insecurity. It is important that you provide information that will enable the CPT to analyze and assess the expected results of the initiatives taken in relation to the resources committed to the operation of the task force. This request for information is made with a view to preparing a comprehensive security assessment so that the best decisions can be made for the benefit of the population, which has already suffered too much. It has the right to expect that all its leaders will offer it concrete reasons to believe in a better future.
