Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry has replaced the country’s justice minister, days after firing the chief public prosecutor.
A statement issued by the Prime Minister stated that the justice minister, Rockfeller Vincent was replaced with Interior Minister Liszt Quitel, who will take charge of both portfolios.
The latest fractures in a deepening political crisis in the Caribbean nation also included the resignation of the Country’s Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, Renald Luberice.
The most recent entanglement centers on two phone calls Henry made to a key suspect Joseph Badio, former chief of the government’s anti-corruption unit just hours after gunmen entered Jovenel Moise’s home on July 7 and assassinated him.
