VERY ANGRY
is best sometimes, you know, the enemy of good. But do we really want the best in not matching the justice reform support measures essential to its effectiveness? We doubt it seriously. We doubt so that we are asking ourselves: Is what we have been deceived and duped by the other two powers, in particular, the Executive?
They made us many promises but they held no so far. The peace court Acul North is always at the heart of a public market and a cemetery. Ah! If the dead could talk! In Port-Margot, the magistrate shall take place at the police station or at home, proudly under a mango tree, for lack of room. We went back to the Stone Age.
In Cap-Haitien, a Magistrate has been the subject of verbal abuse within a public service vehicle, and this, in the exercise of his duties while he was traveling the scene of a crime in search evidence concerning a case which he is responsible. This happened because the law on the status of the judiciary, government officials from the Department of Justice does not recognize the work of magistrates, minimize its value and does not respect his honor and power.
However, when it comes to burlesque festival, small projects demagogic, fiction, political or other social events, we do not skimp on resources. The central government grants and bounty unimaginable benefits to individuals who have no use ... no really for society.
In reality, work a President of the Republic, a parliamentarian, minister, secretary of state, a CEO, a dean, a government commissioner, a commissioner of police , a departmental representative, a director of customs and telecommunications and so on ... is nothing compared to that of a Magistrate. Yet, yet ...
We do not really expect a radical change in our judicial system but rather to the developments to ensure the best possible justice. Unfortunately, the commitments made by the State in respect of justice continue from day to day not to be respected and are still not effectively implemented. More than two months after the publication of the reform laws, the magistrates, mainly investigating judges, despite their mobilization, are facing difficulties in the unacceptable practice.
Today we cry our ras-le-bol of this situation. And we're really angry. It does not reform for the sake of reform. It is done because there is an urgent need to change things. Our leaders and Politicians are all bad guys who do not think this country.
