This position of the Union of the peoples of Cameroon (UPC), which contrasts with those of several political parties of the opposition, was formalized 13 December 2014, on the sidelines of a session of the Steering Committee held in Yaoundé.

"The Steering Committee congratulated the Parliament for the adoption of the Act on the Suppression of acts of terrorism. It wish also that the Act be promulgated in the process of emergency by the head of State, and then popularized by way of radio in French, English and our national languages," said the Secretary-General of the UPC, MP Pierre Sende, at the end of the session of the Steering Committee held in Yaoundé December 14, 2014. This party took the opposite of the other political parties of the opposition, who think that the terrorism law marks "the decline of the rule of law" in Cameroon.

In the opinion of the oldest political parties in Cameroon, the first legislation from the lower House and by the Senate has a preventive character to acts of terrorism. On this issue, Pierre Sende considered that UPC is well placed to provide a consistent point of view.

"We have so many Cameroonians who boast of being great Patriots and who have never known war. We are the UPC and this law, we know it. We fought for freedom. We know the importance of such a law. So when the UPC sits to enjoy such an approach, it must be understood that it is necessary," he proclaimed.

Apart from this call to promulgate the law on terrorism, the session of the Steering Committee allowed the commissioning of the governing body of the party. According to the statutes of the UPC, the Steering Committee is the body responsible for the party between two congresses.

He was installed on December 13, 2014. These include the Secretary General in the person of Pierre Sende, and the Executive Secretary, the Deputy Etienne Soman. The post of Secretary to the propaganda is occupied by Bienvenu Vincent de Paul Mougnanou, and finally that of Treasurer-general returned to Emmanuel Miengueu.
