Haiti - Politic : The Senator Lambert gives explanations but not apologize for the incident of 8 March
Remember that March 8, 2012, the Senator Lambert, a few hours before the press conference of President Martelly, had publicly announced that important revelations would be made, which could cause in the coming hours of unrest in the country. Following his alarmist statements and complaints filed by victims of various incidents that occurred that day, Michel Brunache, the Minister of Justice had received a request from the Government Commissioner asking him to send a letter to the President of the Senate, in order to obtain the availability for Justice of the Senators Joseph Lambert and Steven Benoît for having disturbed the public order.

Faced with this request, the Senator Joseph Lambert explained his position "...one fact is certain is that I belong to the Senate of the Republic and it is this body that decides, if I have to appear before the prosecutor or the ribunal for 'x or y' facts alleged against me. The Senate has decided, that the Senator Steven, like myself, do not have to appear before the prosecutor. I will just respect the decision adopted by the Senate and on this basis, we can say that I would not appear before the prosecutor. One thing is certain, the Senator Lambert is able to choose himself not to go before the prosecution, but the citizen Lambert is also capable, at any time to choose to go before the prosecutor and discuss with the Government Commissioner on all the facts alleged against me. [...]"

Without trying to apologize, the Senator Lambert wanted to clarify his statements at the origin of the disorders which he is charged "...it is important to remember the context in which I made my statement. It was clear that it is my resignation [of the Commission] that I announced. At the same time, information that reached me at that time, made ​​me believe that there would be revelations that the President of the Republic was going to do, and on this basis, there will be a 'Kouri'. Generally, in common language that we use, this means that there will be truths that are coming out and that these truths, will put some parliamentarians and some people of the society in great difficulty in connection with the revelations that the President of the Republic was going to do, including the submission of passports, because, it is the latter who were the stumbling block in the relations between the Presidency and Parliament..."
