The House Speaker of the National Assembly, Honourable Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, has challenged members of parliament and cabinet ministers to work together towards the Head of State’s 2035 vision.

Honourable Cavaye Yeguie Djibril said this while opening the November Ordinary Session of the 2015 legislative year at the National Assembly.

Despite the fact that more than 25 MPs were absent for the kick-off on Thursday 12th November 2015, those who answered present shared smiles and joy after meeting for the first time since the June session.

Worth noting is the fact that the ongoing November session will be materialised with a draft of the 2016 Finance Law intended to fix the legislative and financial framework of the socio-economic development of the country.

Besides the President of the Senate, Marcel Niat Njifenji, diplomats and other State dignitaries was the Prime Minister, Head of Government, Philemon Yang flanked by cabinet ministers, including the new ones who joined government after 2nd October 2015 cabinet reshuffle.

Amongst pertinent issues to be discussed according to the House Speaker, is the Emergency Plan and the organisation of the 2016 and 2019 African football jamborees in the female and male categories by the Republic of Cameroon.

A minute of silence was observed in memory of the deceased MP, Honourable Viche Taga, fallen soldiers and victims of Boko Haram and the 79 Cameroonian pilgrims who lost their lives during the stampede in Mecca.
