The major cleaning in the diplomatic missions announced at the end of July by Chancellor Antonio Rodrigue in order to rectify the Haitian diplomatic apparatus and clean up the finances of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs whose debt exceeds 1.5 billion Gourdes https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-20931-haiti-flash-the-ministry-of-foreign-affairs-close-to-bankruptcy.html , will start on September 30th.

In a note, the Chancellor Rodrigue informs the contractual diplomatic staff of the Embassies and Consulates of Haiti around the world "[...] that it was decided to put an end to the practices of contractual diplomats, incompatible with the prescriptions of The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and those of the 1963 Convention on Consular Relations.

Consequently, the Advisers, the Consultants, who are unable to obtain the necessary accreditation for the performance of their duties, and administrative employees (EA 1, EA2, EA3) are advised that their contracts ending September 30, 2017 will not be renewed.

However, the Chancellor states that "[...] administrative and technical personnel and service personnel such as secretaries, receptionists, drivers, security agents and housekeepers are not affected by this measure, just as in Europe, contract employees have a contract of indefinite duration."
