PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Haitian Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis is expected to face questions in the Senate this week over the handling of government finances.

Radio Kiskeya says the Caribbean nation's No. 2 official will go to the upper chamber Thursday.

The 30-member body has the power to remove the prime minister by a simple majority vote. Pierre-Louis was approved as Haiti's head of government a year ago after her predecessor was fired by the Senate following food riots.

Her questioning is reportedly to be led by members of President Rene Preval's Lespwa movement, which won a majority of the Senate in June elections marred by low turnout and fraud allegations. Preval distanced himself from the party during the election.
