Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced a new hike in gas prices, despite weeks of anti-government protests over the cost of living and raging gang violence in the country.
Speaking at the first anniversary of the formation of his coalition government, Henry said the price increase was part of a bid to raise money for public administration."We're going to raise the price of gas to make sure the government collect enough money to keep the country running.
