"Port-au-Prince, on 1 August 2016

Mr. Ronald Larèche,
Senator President of the Senate of the Republic
In its offices

Mr. President of the Senate,

The Secretariat of the 56th President of the Republic received with surprise and dismay your correspondence dated 28 July 2016 relating to a Senate investigation on the management of the PetroCaribe funds. It reiterates that the rules dictated by the Constitution does give the President of the Republic any State funds management assignment.

The Secretariat of the 56th President of the Republic strongly protest against the insinuations contained in your letter to the effect that the latter could have received any amount of natural and legal persons to which you refer. It contests such allegations detrimental to the personality and reputation of President Martelly and emits all its legal reservations.

The Secretariat believes that the noble and necessary approach, initiated by the Upper House, through the Commission of Inquiry will be conducted with objectivity and in compliance with standards and procedures. The public interest requires that the work of the Senate Commission of Inquiry hovering over partisans mobiles.

The 56th President of the Secretariat of the Republic of Haiti ask you to accept, Mr. President of the Senate, the expression of its sincere and patriotic greetings."
