Haiti – Politic : Deplorable spectacle in Parliament
15/01/2013 09:25:46
This second Monday of January, opening of the first ordinary session of the legislative year, in accordance with the prescribed of the Article 98.3, of the Haitian Constitution, in the presence of the diplomatic corps and personalities of the political class, the Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe made the deposit of the balance of the Government before the Office of the National Assembly, in an atmosphere of great parliamentary agitation. The deputies of minority bloc “Parliamentarians for Institutional Strengthening” (PRI) prevented by a chorus of bells, whistles and booed hostile, the Prime Minister, to make the traditional reading of his balance. Unable to read its balance sheet, the Head of Government left the podium and delivered his document in a great uproar “I respect the requirements of the Constitution by submitting to the Office of the National Assembly copies of the balance sheet of the governmental action for 2012 and perspectives for 2013.” Calm and relaxed, the Prime Minister deplored the hostile atmosphere in Parliament.
125 copies were made available to parliamentarians and Ady Jean Gardy, the Minister of Communication indicated that the Prime Minister remained available to answer any questions from parliamentarians on its balance sheet.
The Deputy Sadrac Dieudonné, Head of PRI, indignantly, accuses Laurent Lamothe to not having responded to several invitations as well as a meeting of the PRI, and his colleagues promise to continue their disruptive actions, as long as their community has not received the funds budgeted…
“Unthinkable and unfortunate for democracy,” declared the Deputy Abel Descollines, who sees in this disorder, an act that casts a negative image of the Parliament.
For Senator Pierre Francky Exius, the Prime Minister has not complied with the Constitution “he must first make the presentation of his balance sheet before filing it to the Office of the National Assembly,” criticizing the office, to have taking note of the deposit without the prior reading “the Head of Government should resign […] the Parliament, should become aware of the state of things to interpellate Lamothe as soon as possible.”
