Haiti's parliament has approved a new cabinet, ending months of delay in forming a government. The Chamber of Deputies endorsed Prime Minister Garry Conille''s 17-member cabinet and government programme after more than 14 hours of debate, the BBC reported. Conille''s programme aims to attract investment to help the country rebuild after a devastating earthquake in 2010. President Michel Martelly, who won polls in March, said it was a sign that Haiti was "open for business". The cabinet is set to be sworn in on Tuesday. The programme foresees economic growth at more than 9% annually, from around 6% expected this year. The economy contracted in 2010 as a result of a crippling earthquake.
