The postponement to November 15 of the interpellation of Josué Pierre-Louis, Minister of Justice and of Michel Brunache, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and the creation of two Commissions responsible for drafting the reasons of the interpellation and investigate on the arrest of the deputy Arnel Bélizaire, has obviously not pleased to the deputies who have strongly expressed their disappointment.

Frustrated, the Deputy Danton Léger reproach to the senators to not have finished the session throwing a warning against any desire to use the practice of "kase fèy kouvri sa" considering that the harm are irreversible, without exclude the possibility of the indictment of Head of State if its involvement is proven.

The Deputy Levaillant Louis Jeune said meanwhile disappointed to have attended to "a comedy in the Senate". He assimilates the approaches of the senators to "a big joke" aiming to avoid penalizing members of the government involved in the case Bélizaire "...I want to inform senators that the Chamber of Deputies, the deputies in general have not asked to the senators to do anything for them. Demagoguery that has been made in the Senate of the Republic, is intended to bury the Haitian Parliament and strengthen the personal power of President Michel Martelly. The Senators took an entire day to exit without a vote, they created a Commission to supposedly investigate on who is responsible, while they knew perfectly well, because they were in contact with the entire government, that it is the President Martelly, Josué Pierre-Louis nd with all those involved, that all these people are fully implicated in the case Belizaire.

I have a message to send especially to the Senator Lambert, the coordinator of INITE, I told to the Senator : all good General ensures all the time, to have the confidence and the control of his troops, I ask the Senator Lambert if after the acts that have been posed Saturday, if he have the guarantee that he has the troops behind him ?"

The Deputy Eloune Doréus expressed surprise that Saturday's meeting did not end on a vote of confidence or a censure motion, urging the senators to not tergiversate on an issue as important that the arrest of a deputy in office.

The Deputy Pierre Matin Tatoute estimates for his part "that the Senate is processing the file with lightness," warning that the Chamber of Deputies is preparing to give in January, "a proportional response and historic to the government..."

The Deputy Jean Tolbert Alexis, disapprove the formation of commissions of inquiry by the great body and rejects the formation of the Independent Investigation Commission of the Government, trecalling that the only real Commission should be formed by the Chamber of Deputies, the only body empowered to make the indictment of senior officials.

Other deputies think that the change in the original decision, of some senators, is linked to the act that they are at the end of their mandate and that they think first to their re-election...

Recall that last Saturday, during the session of convocation of the Supreme Council of the National Police (CSPN) the Prime Minister, Dr. Garry Conille, informed that measures had been taken against Me Félix Léger, the Government Commissioner, pending the results of the administrative commission of inquiry, responsible for determining the Commissioner's role in the arrest of Deputy Bélizaire.
