SDF MPs boycott opening session of parliament



SDF Members of Parliament have boycotted the opening session of Parliament in Yaounde. 
            SDF representatives of both the upper and lower house were instead at the regional headquarters of the party in Olezoa, Yaounde as the opening rituals at Ngoa Ekele and Nkolnyada were going on.
            According to a release issued Tuesday, the decision of the SDF to boycott the opening ceremony of the 3rd parliamentary session is the first action of a series whose goal is “to force the Yaounde regime to find a lasting solution” to the crisis that has rocked Southern Cameroons for more than a year now.

            “We believe it is now time for parliamentarians in accordance with Article 4 of the constitution to take their responsibilities. It is a question of how far we can, in our own way, expose to the public, to the national and international public, the serious situation that prevails in our country,” the release states.
            Opening sessions of both houses of parliament were witnessed by the Prime Minister and his government, the SG and Director of Cabinet of the Presidency, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh and  Martin Belinga Eboutou respectively, the president of the Supreme court etc
