The President of the Haitian Senate, Joseph Lambert says he will challenge the decision by the United States and Canada to impose sanctions for alleged abuse of his position by involvement in what they say is “significant corruption”. The Biden administration announced the sanctions last Friday, with the US Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken describing Lambert’s actions as undermining the integrity of the Haitian government. But the Haitian Senator has described the actions as “unfair”. He said he has given a mandate to a law firm to act on his behalf, even as he insisted that “justice is being put to the test”.
