Senator Dieudone Luma Etienne was the first to tell journalists of radio Caraibes FM that this is totally false.

Senator Kedlaire Augustin followed with the same, saying the opposition senator's accusation is false.

Senator Wilfrid Gelin, another accused, said he doesn't understand why such accusation was even made because he doesn't need money to vote. School is open and Haiti needs a government, he said.

This is not a surprise.

We know one day someone is going to provide the footage to alert the people.
