Presidential Advisor Emmanuel Vertilaire outraged
The Transitional Presidential Advisor Emmanuel Vertilaire (Party “Pitit Desalin”), responsible for the justice and public security project within the Transitional Council, informs that he did not take part in the Council of Ministers on Friday, February 28.
