The appointment of Laurent Lamothe, the PM-designate of Haiti, has been approved by the Senate.

According to Radio Kiskeya, the PM-designate was approved by 19 votes to three with one abstention.

His nomination will now go to the Chamber of Deputies for approval. If that goes ahead, then he will issue a declaration of general policy that also has to be approved by both chambers. At that point, the government will be formed. Haiti has been without a government now for about six weeks.

I really try hard not to be judgmental in this blog, but this is a truly inefficient process.
