Aprè sena repiblik la resi anile kontra TEVASA, Senatè Paul Denis pale sou zafè TEVASA. Kontra siz an te siyen ant fanmi Mevs, ki se mèt pò TEVASA, ak rejim defakto a nan lane 1993, lè rejim militè a te sou pouvwa. Grégory Mevs te di li t ap bati sitèn pwodwi petwoliye avèk kòb leta ayisyen te bay li. Sena deside kontra sa a pa te legal, epi yo rekòmande pa sèlman pou leta sispann peye TEVASA, men tou pou TEVASA ranbouse leta ayisyen. Sena rekòmande tou ke tout responsab leta ki te patisipe nan kontra sa a envestige, epi pou yo jije si yo merite sa. Denis demanti l ap sèvi avèk zafè TEVASA pou regle pwoblèm ant OPL ak Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
After the Senate finally cancels TEVASA's contract, Senator Paul Denis discusses the TEVASA affair. The ten-year contract was signed between the Mevs family, that owns the port, and the de facto regime in 1993, when Haiti's military regime was in power. Grégory Mevs claimed he would build petroleum tanks with the money the Haitian state paid him. The Senate found that the contract was unlawful, and recommended that not only should the state stop paying TEVASA, but that TEVASA should reimburse the Haitian state. The Senate also recommended that the state officials who participated in the contract be investigated and, if need be, put on trial. Denis denies that he is using the TEVASA scandal to hash out problems between OPL and Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Après l’annulation par le Sénat du contrat TEVASA, le Sénateur Paul Denis discute de l’affaire. Un contrat de dix ans, avait été signé en 1993 avec la famille Mevs, propriétaire du port TEVASA, et le régime militaire de facto au pouvoir à l’époque. Grégory Mevs avait déclaré qu’il construirait des citernes de produits pétroliers avec l’argent versé par l’état haïtien. Le Sénat a décidé que le contrat n’était pas légal et recommandé non seulement de cesser tout paiement à la TEVASA, mais encore que la TEVASA rembourse l’état haïtien. Le Sénat a également recommandé qu’une investigation soit menée sur les responsables ayant participé à ce contrat et que, si besoin est, ils soient traînés devant la justice. Denis a rejeté les insinuations selon lesquelles il utilise l’affaire TEVASA pour résoudre les différends entre l’OPL et Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
