Hawit, having seen
Jack Warner's reign as CONCACAF President last twenty one years, proposed that the CONCACAF president should be able to serve only one four year-term at a time and for the
Caribbean Football Union,
UNCAF and
North American Football Union to nominate the president on a rotary basis. He was an interim president of
CONCACAF. After the arrest of
Jeffrey Webb on 27 May 2015, Hawit was made president of
CONCACAF. Hawit himself was then arrested on corruption charges on 3 Dec 2015 in the Baur au Lac hotel in
Zürich. On 4 December 2015 he was banned for 90 days by the
FIFA Ethics Committee. Hawit was found guilty of four conspiracy counts in the sweeping
FIFA bribery scandal in April 2016. In December 2016, the FIFA Ethics Committee banned Hawit for life from all football-related activities. ==Personal life==
