Cameroon - English-speaking crisis: "A subject must not be taboo at the level of the National Assembly" by Martin Oyono (CPDM deputy)


Martin Oyono sits down to dinner. The ruling CPDM MP from Cameroon, used to row against the tide, spoke again about the country's life. He was the guest of the program Geopolis broadcast on December 24, 2017 on Equinoxe television. On the riots provoked in the National Assembly by the absence of a debate on the Anglophone crisis, the "MP-rebel" lamented the inaction of his party mates.  "It's like being scared of scarecrows.

A subject should not be taboo at the level of the National Assembly. The head of state who is the first elected of the nation has excipé contours of a dialogue by saying that it is intransigeant on the form of the State since the constitution of 1996 makes the State of Cameroun a State decentralized unit. People have to try to read what is happening and the constitution is above all, " he said.

For him any idea of ​​secession is "serious" because "even we francophones, we can not accept that the Northwest and Southwest are detached from the French-speaking part." He blames the National Assembly for failing to organize the debate so much hoped for by the Social Democratic Front (SDF).

While welcoming the arrival of Commonwealth Secretary General Patricia Scotland, he believes that the deputies should have shown wisdom and courage. He assures that if the debate had taken place we would not be there. The Assembly, he thought, had sent a signal to the people. Martin Oyono wants "that the national assembly that is the parliament deals with national concerns and that we take care of the general interest. North West and South West are integral parts of Cameroon.

One could even have used another legal means which is that of the convening of the congress of the parliament which brings together the two chambers on the orders of the head of the state ". He concludes this chapter by deploring the fact that the budget has been adopted "cavalierly".
