Key Findings
- IGF reviewed GDG Beton indemnification claims after a crane accident during rescue and debris-removal operations following the collapse of La Promesse Evangelique school in Nerette, Petion-Ville.
- MEF was asked to authorize payment to compensate the company for services rendered to the nation, and IGF analyzed the file from accounting and legal angles.
- The review examined damaged vehicles, hospital costs for victims and other expenses such as legal fees, crane repair and anticipated expenses.
- Findings cite missing accident report documentation from OAVCT, missing acquisition-cost evidence for damaged vehicles, no expertise for many replacement claims and repair evidence limited to estimates.
- Hospital-cost documents were considered admissible, but the file would have been complete with copies of checks given to victims.
- IGF found the Haitian state had no civil or criminal liability because it had not ordered, requisitioned or contracted with GDG Beton, but recommended payment as support for civic action if additional supporting documents were submitted.
