Reports have surfaced that Yele charity is under fire again amidst reports that the organizations VP
got a $42,000 pay bump in 2009. Evidence of the mishandling of funds was

obtained by the New York Post, which showed that Zakiya

Khatou-Chevassus was
paid $147,000 for her services in 2009 after a promotion from consultant to
vice president seems like a pretty hefty raise considering she is now
earning $15,000 more than the charitys president, Hugh
Locke.

Perhaps the pay hike stems from rumors that the former member of the Fugees is entangled in a romantic relationship with Khatou-Chevassus, who was allegedly Jeans personal assistant before her involvement with the charity.

The Yele Foundation was originally developed to provide immediate relief to hurricane victims, and later expanded its goals to include scholarships and community development programs to Haitian citizens. And the organization really made some ground with support, reportedly receiving $14 million in donations after the initial disaster.

During his presidential bid, Jean stated that, First, I freely admit that missteps were made when Yele was in its infancy as a g****roots movement before the earthquake. And then added, They can knock me down, but Ill always get back up. Especially if its in defense of my good name and my undying devotion to the country I love.The organization is now out of its infancy, and these growing pains are only going to get tougher for Jean.
