Haiti - Politic : The Lower House is not linked to the report of the CIEVE
02/06/2016 09:30:44

Tuesday in a note signed by Cholzer Chancy, President of the Chamber of Deputies, the latter indicates that the Chamber of Deputies took note of the report of the publication of the report of the Independent Commission of Electoral Evaluation and Verification (CIEVE) created by the presidency, "in violation of the agreement of 5 February 2016 and the Constitution of 29 March 1987 amended. In addition, the Chamber of Deputies noted that the said report calls into question the foundations of democracy and the laws of the Republic."

Furthermore, the lower house recalls the prescription of the section 187.1 of the Electoral Decree in force which stipulate that "The decisions of the National Office of Electoral Litigation (BCEN) are not subject to any appea". Furthermore, according to Article 108 of the amended Constitution "Each House checks and validates the credentials of its members and judge sovereignly the disputes arising about it."

Faithful to its principled position expressed after the formation of the CIEVE, the Chamber of Deputies reiterates "being in no way linked to the report of the Commission which, in no case, can produce legal effects on the term of office of members of the Legislature."

For history, the Chamber of Deputies reminds the Nation the declaration, of February 7, 2016, before the National Assembly by the Senator Jocelerme Privert, current President ai of the Republic elected in the second degree by Parliament "No statement, no declamation, no decision, no action, or statement no matter where it comes from can remove a braided crown on the shuttle of the popular sovereignty."

Finally, the Chamber of Deputies reminded the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) that it is the product of the Agreement of February 5, 2016. Consequently, it warns it of any initiative that goes against the provisions of the Agreement of February 5, 2016 and the Constitution, at the risk of falling under the Articles 186 (c), 189-1, 189-2 and 195 of the Constitution which expose them to prosecution.
