Haiti - Politic : Irresponsible behavior of some Senators
14 days after the vote on ratification of the budget 2011-2012 by the Lower House (5 months after the end of the fiscal year), the plenary session of Senate convened this Thursday, April 26th which was to vote the budget 2011-2012, has been postponed to May 2, for lack of quorum !

Simon Dieuseul Desras, President of the Senate deplored the impossibility of obtaining the presence of 16 senators, quorum required for a plenary session, while 28 Senators were available. For the Senator Desras, his colleagues, have no excuse, reminding them the urgency of this vote to prevent the State from being blocked, urging them to fulfill their constitutional duty and reminding them that the internal regulations of the upper house, provide for sanctions against absenteeism.

Despite the calls for respect of their duty and the threats of sanctions, the President of the Senate has failed to convince a sufficient number of Senators to obtain the quorum required by the Constitution. The senators present at the Legislative Building, have simply sulking the session, forcing the postponement of the vote essential to the functioning of the state, to the next plenary session May 2, 2012, or six days before the end of the term of one third of senators of the upper house.

Hope that such a situation, for the least, irresponsible does not happen again on May 2, that our senators will recover the sense of duty and stop using any vote as a means of pressure on the executive... because, after May 8, a quorum of the Senate cut of 10 of its members, is likely to be even more difficult and announces a difficult period...
