On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, Laurent Saint-Cyr, President pro tempore of the Transitional Council (CPT), accompanied by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, visited the Haitian National Police (PNH) Headquarters. Discussions focused on current security challenges, strategies to effectively address them, and the urgent need for the PNH to intensify its operations against criminal groups in order to achieve concrete security results.

During this visit, a moment of silence was observed, with the flag lowered to half-mast, to pay solemn tribute to the memory of the police officers who have recently fallen in the line of duty.

During this visit, the Prime Minister installed Frédéric Leconte as the new Chief Inspector General of the PNH.

The delegation then visited the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS) base in Clercine. During a meeting attended by Inspector General Godfrey Otunge, Commander-in-Chief of the Mission, André Jonas Vladimir Paraison, the new Acting Director General of the PNH, and members of his High Command, as well as representatives of the Kenyan government and the international community, the speakers reaffirmed their joint mobilization against armed gangs and their determination to restore a climate of peace, an essential condition for a return to normal life in Haiti.

President Saint-Cyr reiterated that the time for action is now and urged the PNH, the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd'H), and the Multinational Mission to join forces to conduct strategic operations aimed at eradicating insecurity. He reiterated the State's commitment to mobilizing all necessary resources to ensure public safety and organize credible, inclusive, and democratic general elections as soon as possible.

Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé expressed his gratitude to Kenyan President William Ruto and his government for their continued support in the Haitian people's quest for peace and stability.
