Haitian Prime Minister Criticises Haiti Recovery Efforts

Haitian prime minister Jean Max Bellerive is criticizing the haiti earthquake rebuilding efforts. The prime says that help was channeled through NGOs in Haiti and not the Haitian government.

Prime minister Bellerive says to the BBC...

"Let's be clear, I have nothing against NGOs - we need them. What I need is to have control over what they do in my country, where they do it and with whom they are doing it, and at what cost."

Mr Bellerive said he was constantly being asked why there were no visible results from donated money.

"It's very difficult for me to give explanation for the use of money that I never receive," he said.

Question:

Why do you think that "Haiti reconstruction money" was given out to NGOs and not the Haitian government.
