Haiti - Politic : Second postponement of the National Assembly in 3 days
Tuesday, after the cancellation of the session to the extraordinary of the National Assembly due to the celebration of May 18, 213th anniversary of the creation of the Haitian flag and of numerous moves of parliamentarians in their constituencies, the session was postponed to Thursday.
Thursday, for the second time in 3 days, the session at the extraordinary could not take place and was postponed "sine die". This time they are the deputies of the majority block of the Parliamentary Alliance for Haiti (APH) called G48, that boycotted the session to protest against the Executive for the removal of the amending budget of 10 million gourdes allocated to communes. The deputies would condition their return to the Assembly by the insertion of communal funds in the draft amending budget.
Cholzer Chancy, the President of the National Assembly, who hope that the Assembly may be held next week, recognizes that the deputies are concerned by the lack of communal funds in the amending budget and informs that discussions were held with the Executive, which should make the necessary adjustments. However, he says he is not able to confirm that the absence of his colleagues in parliament Thursday is linked to this reason.
Recall that parliamentarians are invited to the extraordinary for among others consider the review and the vote : of the Draft of the Amending Finance Act 2015-2016; the Draft Penal Code; the Draft Code of Criminal Procedure; the Draft law on electronic commerce; the Bill establishing the Commune of Montrouis; the Proposal for a framework law on decentralization; the Bill on organization and functioning of the Ministry of the Environment; and the Law proposal creating a basic public service in communal sections.
