Haitians who refer to French when caught lying

Why do Haitians have to speak French when they are cornered or caught lying? You probably think I am once again making this up; however if you haven't notice that, I am asking that you pay close attention to our leaders during their conversation.

As a Haitian observer, I have been observing this for a while and I think it is about time that we talk about it.

Don't you realize that by now that many of our leaders will change a nice Creole conversation into French? I suspects that their French comes up usually whenever they are caught lying or want to bluff us. At that point most become very philosophical. You start hearing:

" Je vous dis que.........."

"Ce que la realite est c'est que........"

"La verite c'est la verite et que........"

Le monde est fait de .............."

Questions:

Why do they feel that in a Creole conversation, they have to state some sentences to French to become more credible?

Does this mean if you are speaking French, you can't lie?

C'est quoi la difference que vous voukez etablir, je comprend pas votre remarque, a ne pas oublier nous les haitiens avons deux langues officielles alors si vous comprenez le francais ou bien vous ne pouvez vous exprimer c'est a vous le probleme, vous devez faire des remarques avec beaucoup plus de persuasion

Mon cher ami j'ai beaucoup d'appreciation et de respect pour vous, il ne faut pas juger quelqu'un qui peut s'exprimer en francais sous aucun pretext car c'est pas donner a tout le monde, je suis desole de constater qu'a chaque fois que quelqu'un n'arrive pas a bien s'exprimer en francais trouve un moyen de tirer sur un autre qui a fait des sacrifices Durant les annees
