Haiti - Controversy in the Swearing-in ceremony of new CEP members
Here is the Scoop...
Leopold Berlanger wrote a letter to the President of Cour de Cassation to inform him that he will not show up for the swearing in Ceremony because one of the members, Néhémie Joseph, was not ratified by the Senate. Mr Berlanger wants to swearing once ALL 9 members are present.
What is the complication?
Well... Apparently Néhémie Joseph, who was already a member of the CTCEP, was supposed to be ratified by the Senate of the Republic but that never happened. Although, Nehemy's name is listed in the "arrêté présidentiel" forming the new CEP... I guess that complicates things!
Leopold Berlanger was interviewed on Radio Signal FM and spoke to Tamara Orion about his decision not to show up for the swearing in ceremony. Tamara ask him if it was as sign of solidarity toward Mehemy, Berlanger replied:
"It is more a matter of principle... For the CEP to function, 9 members are needed, the absence of one member is a Handicap to the CEP..."
Since Nememy Joseph does not have the endorsement of neither of the powers (i.e. Legislative, Executive and Judicial) that is a problem according to Mr. Berlanger.
What do you think about this?
