PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (defend.ht) – Senator Jean-Charles Moise (Nord/Inite) is not okay with being removed from the special senate commission reviewing the nationality of members of government. The senator was removed without notice by the commission’s chairman, Joseph Lambert (Sud-Est/Inite).
Senator Lambert said the grounds for the removal of the Senator of the North was because he is the main accuser.
Senator Moise says he heard of the decision on the radio but not from his colleagues. Although Moise is not okay with being removed he accepts it on the grounds relayed to him.
The investigation will continue and Senator Moise says he will work with the commission as it continues its investigation local and abroad.
Also removed from the commission was Senator Simon Desras (Centre/Lavni) as he is now the President of the Senate and unable to participate.
The commission has so far confirmed that two members of the government hold other nationalities. Senator Moise insists that the President of the Republic holds U.S. and Italian citizenship.
