Former Senator Steven Benoit :

On Thursday, on a radio station of the capital, former Senator Steven Benoit Leader of the "Entente" party criticized the new Government formed by Prime Minister Ariel Henry, calling it an "improved version" of the Tet Kale party, considering that this ministerial cabinet "is the same regime which has been in power since 2011". According to Benoit, "the most powerful politician in Haiti since 2011 is Martelly who he has been pulling the strings of the country for a decade." On his Twitter account Steven Benoit in reaction to the reshuffle declared "Bravo, bravo, bravo to PHTK and allies and above all bon appétit to the new Ministers. There will be no accountability : Loot, loot and loot again 'Kalé dada nou Jan nou vlé' Haiti is open for business !"

Clarens Renois :

Clarens Renois from the UNIR party said "This is once again a division of the pie between politicians. Therefore, we should not expect much. The only conclusion to be drawn from this installation is that some politicians practice a facade challenge. As soon as their personal interests are satisfied, they quickly fall into line. "A thinly veiled allusion to the Minister of Planning and External Cooperation Ricard Pierre, member of the radical opposition of the "Democratic and Popular Sector" (SDP) to the great satisfaction of Me André Michel

Édouard Paultre :

Édouard Paultre Head of the National Council of Non-State Actors (CONHANE), signatory of the Montana agreement, is also very critical, contesting in particular the continuity of the new Government for him "Ariel Henry continues his policy of accomplished fact. The Government is not inclusive and continues to protect the interests of PHTK. We are heading towards an impasse which can only lead to a clash."
