Haiti - FLASH : The Minister of the Interior revokes all the badges of the employees of the Ministry
Audain Fils Bernadel, the Minister of the Interior and Territorial Collectivities, notes that individuals without titles or status use national effigies and the name of the Ministry to pretend themselves as people with links to the institution. These ill-intentioned individuals also use fake Institutional badges to perpetrate reprehensible acts. The Minister denounces these offenses with the utmost rigor and deplores the confusion that this is capable of generating.
Faced with this situation, in order to ensure the safety of his staff, Minister Bernadel decided to revoke all badges of regular employees of the Ministry before resuming the secure process of their identification.
This measure, which reinforces those taken in 2018 and 2019 by the Ministry, entered into force on August 13, 2020 and concerns officials, contractors, liaison officers and project managers in general. The Ministry will refrain from producing badges for Departmental Delegations, vice district Delegations and local elected officials.
In addition, the Minister urges the National Police of Haiti to continue to track down all troublemakers and counterfeiters using false badges from the Ministry.
