MPs, Ministers Urged To Work In Synergy

The Speaker of the National Assembly opened the November Ordinary Session yesterday during a plenary session.

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, has urged Members of Parliament and cabinet ministers to work hand-in-glove so that objectives of the Emergence Vision would be attained. While opening the November Ordinary Session of the 2015 legislative year during a plenary session yesterday, November 12, 2015, Cavaye Yeguie Djibril also enjoined MPs to be disciplined and focus on efforts to develop the country.

Even though more than 25 MPs were absent from the hemicycle for various reasons, the rest of the MPs were visibly happy meeting once more after a four-month recess. This session is to discuss the draft 2016 Finance Law which will fix the legislative and financial framework of the economic and social development of the country. Besides the President of the Senate, Marcel Niat Njifenji, diplomats and other State dignitaries attending, the government bench was full with Prime Minister and Head of Government, Philemon Yang flanked by cabinet ministers, including the new ones who joined government after the October 2, 2015 cabinet reshuffle.

After congratulating the Prime Minister and the new team, Cavaye Yeguie Djibril reminded them of President Paul Biya’s saying that serving the country as minister is not only an honour, but a heavy responsibility, especially in the context of numerous challenges and sociopolitical and economic stakes. “Prominent among these are projects launched for the Emergency Plan and the organisation of the 2016 and 2019 tournaments of the African Cup of Nations which are amongst the priorities of government,” he stated.

After a minute of silence in memory of the deceased MP, Hon. Viche Taga, as well as pilgrims who died during the Mina stampede on September 12, 2015 in Saudi Arabia, fallen soldiers and civilian victims in the fight against Boko Haram, the Speaker drew a desolate picture of the effect of the Boko Haram menace on food security in the Far North Region. Thus, he was full of praise and gratitude for the generosity of the presidential couple who recently donated food items worth over FCFA 2.2 billion. Multifarious assistance from friendly nations and civil society organisations was also acknowledged while vigilance and education was recommended to halt the use of girls by Boko Haram in suicide attacks.
