Haiti - FLASH : PM announces support for widows of police officers killed in office
Monday at an extraordinary meeting of the Superior Council of the National Police (CSPN) organized by the Prime Minister, Jack Guy Lafontant, also president of CSPN attended by Senators Jean Renel Senatus and Ralph Féthière, President of the Commission "Defense" measures were adopted by the Council on support for families of police officers killed in office.
Concerned about the next school year, three months' wages of the agents killed in office, will be paid to their families, while waiting for a law to fix the benefits will be entitled to the families of these workers of the Fatherland.
Among other things, in a structural way, a 2% tax on the payroll of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) will be granted to the Office for Occupational Injury, Sickness and Maternity Insurance (OFATMA) for a wider coverage of medical insurance for the benefit of all police officers who are victims at work. The Prime Minister recalled that his plan is already included in the Finance Bill 2017-2018.
