Haitian Businessman Dumas Simeus Wants To Become The Nest President Of Haiti

The Miami herald has just reported that Haitian American businessmen Dumarsais Simeus wants to be the next president of Haiti.

 

:) He already has money, being President of haiti will not make him richer!

 

Dumas Simeus is this founder and CEO Simeus Foods International which is  Today Texas' largest black-owned company and the largest black-owned food processing plant in the country, according to Black Enterprise magazine.

 

His empire is worth over 100 Million Dollars!

 

Dumarsais Siméus was born poor in Saint Marc, Haiti.

 

"Like many Haitian youngsters, Dumarsais Siméus stood on the docks of St. Marc, near his hometown, and dreamed about going where the boats were coming from.

 

His parents sold a plot of land to help him buy a plane ticket to attend college in the United States…"

 

But... became a US Citizen, Can he still become President of Haiti?

 

''The bottom line is he is a native son of Haiti, clearly born and raised in Haiti, went out in the world to make a success and he has kept constant connection with Haiti,'' said Rob Allyn, the Dallas-based GOP political strategist hired by Siméus.

 

But... Article 135 of the Haitian Constitution states a presidential candidate must ''be a native-born Haitian and never have renounced Haitian nationality,'' and have resided in the country for five consecutive years before the election.

 

Siméus said he has never renounced his Haitian citizenship [interesting] despite being a U.S. citizen. And he argues that constitutional requirements don't apply in any case, claiming Haiti has been operating outside of the constitution since Aristide's ouster in 2004.

 

His attorneys have been working the phones, trying to overcome the perceived legal obstacles.

 

My Two Cents: Haiti should be run like business, every year she needs to make a profit.  Haiti needs to be cleaned up so that the generation of Haitians born and/or raised outside the country can return home to build their dream and to create jobs in their homeland.

 

Mr. Simeus, If you can run Haiti like you run your business, Go for it.

 

One question... What are you going to do about all the hungry people out there who think the only way to be rich is to be president of Haiti? 

 

I bet you that's where your opposition will come from.  Wap anpeche nèg yo mange, Man!
