Description:

  • Jean Harry Clerveau, le leader du syndicat de l'EDH (Électricité d'Haïti), se bat contre la privatisation de son entreprise parce qu'il pense que cela renforcerait la corruption déjà existante en son sein. Quand EDH fut racheté par l'État en 1971, le gros investissement initial du gouvernement permit de démocratiser l'accès à l'électricité dans le pays. Malheureusement, le fort profit qui en résulta fut à l'origine d'une corruption croissante dans l'entreprise, ce qui halta son progrès et ralentit son développement. La corruption du secteur de l'énergie profite à beaucoup de monde, y compris dans le gouvernement. Les leaders syndicaux sont convaincus que la privatisation ne ferait qu'empirer le phénomène.

  • Jean Harry Clerveau, lidè sendika EDH la, ap mennen yon batay kont privatizasyon paske li panse sa pral ogmante koripsyon ki deja anvayi antrepriz la. Lè gouvènman a pran chaj EDH la nan 1971, yon gwo envestisman gouvènmantal fè anpil zòn ki pa t genyen jwenn kouran. Gwo pwofi mennen koripsyon epi kanpe tout pwogrè ak devlopman EDH te reyalize. Anpil moun ap vole kouran, sitou moun nan gouvènman. Lidè sendika a kwè privatizasyon ka fè pwoblèm sa vini pi grav.

  • Jean Harry Clerveau, the leader of the worker’s union for the EDH (Haiti Electric Company), is leading a fight against the privatization of EDH because it would increase the corruption that already infiltrates the company. When EDH became state owned in 1971, a high initial government investment increased access to electricity in many areas. Profit generation led to corruption which halted progress and the development of EDH was stunted. Energy is being siphoned by many, including goverment officials. Union leaders believe that privatization would exacerbate these issues.
