Wyclef for president of Haiti? I say bad idea
As much as his intentions might be good, I feel this would NOT help Haiti at all.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas as per the Human Development Index. On various occasions, it has experienced political violence throughout its history. Wyclef has MORE disadvantages than advantages. He has never held a government position, he has no political experience, a college drop out. He had issues running his OWN Charity Organization which is under investigation with the accusations of financial misconduct AKA POCKETING THE CHARITY DONATIONS. Jean owes the IRS $2.1 million. How can you not run your own life but want to be president of a country that is not ONLY corrupt but UNSTABLE. He can do more privately than publicly for the nation in regards to government control.
What Haiti needs is an IRON hand political experienced person like Jerry Rowlings was for Ghana in the 80s and early 90s.
This looks more to me like a way to promote his own agenda than for the people of Haiti.
If he can "allegedly" take for him own charity, imagine what he can take from his own country.
Just my 2 cents on this issue.
Exactly, I was having this conversation of facebook amongst friends and I say instead of him running with no background experience. He should use his popularity to help elect someone who have the governmental experience and the willpower and even an iron hand to run the government and help improve the economic and corruptions issues the country heavily deals with.
