That night, the Senate finally approved the new ministerial cabinet of Prime Minister and the General Policy of the Government Martelly-Conille, by 16 votes for, 4 against and 5 abstentions. An important step has been crossed, according to the President Martelly "I am pleased that the Senate has voted the Declaration of General Policy of the Prime Minister Garry Conille. This is another victory for the people."

It now remains to pass the final step, that of the vote of the Lower House [which could take place this Friday] and obtain a majority in favor, so that the Prime Minister and the new government can take office after the transfers of power between ministers which could take several days.

Speaking of the ministerial cabinet, prior to the session in the Senate, the Chief of State had declared "This new team will be able do a lot with very little, that is to say they do not have many means in hand, but they will provide many results. It's good for Haiti, and that's, makes me confident.

We have many projects that are ready, we have a lot of friends who want to help us, a government is a thing that everyone asked to have a vis-à-vis. This means that if you want to intervene in matters related to agriculture, you do not want to deal with President, but with the Ministry responsible for agriculture. If someone wants to intervene in the field of education it will have a speaker, the Minister of Education.

That's why I need all the arms of the government today so that we can begin to move forward."
