After a great deal of speculation, hip hop artist Wyclef Jean recently confirmed his presidential candidacy in the poverty-stricken country of Haiti, where he was born and lived for the first nine years of his life.

And while Haiti’s representative in the Miss Universe competition, lawyer Sarodj Bertin, is a huge fan of his music – she isn’t quite as confident in his political capabilities.

“I really admire Wyclef, he’s a great singer and a really recognized Haitian artist – but I do not know if he’s going to arrive to his political objectives,” Bertin, whose mother was a human rights activist and presidential candidate prior to her tragic murder in 1995, told Pop Tarts. “After the (earthquake), we need someone that really knows this position and has studied politics, and really knows Haitian society. We’re not in a place right now where we can just try people out. If Wyclef thinks he has the capacity then maybe he can arrive, I wish him good luck, but I we need to look at really moving the country forward politically.”
