Yaounde: Natinaol Assembly President Violently Attcks President Paul Biya And Other Senior Aides To The Pesident

Cavaye Yeguie is very upset with Paul Biya. That's the least one can say. During his speech today at the opening of the parliamentary session, observers couldn't help but be surprised by the statements of the President of the National Assembly, especially regarding the separation of powers. He called, in clear terms, for the executive to let the legislature function without any interference.

The President of the National Assembly emphasized, "I would like to remind everyone that Cameroon is a state of law marked by the separation of powers: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. They operate in total harmony under the Very High Direction of the President of the Republic, Head of State, Head of National Institutions. No one has the right to disturb this institutional balance. Everyone must stay in their place." Unprecedented words coming from Cavaye Yeguie Djibril.

In fact, for several months, the President of the National Assembly has been poorly receiving criticisms from the executive regarding the management of what he considers his "domain."

This morning, annoyed by the actions of Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, the man with the punk, Secretary-General of the Presidency of the Republic, and the director of the civil cabinet who is trying to impose Essiane, the former mayor of Sangmelima, as his Secretary-General, he vented in front of a small circle of close associates: "To replace Meva’a, who left the Senate, they want to send me a certain Essian. They are dealing with village matters as if the country belongs to them, and they bother me with my chief of staff."

The chief of the Mada village, convinced that he will be ousted in March despite everything, no longer wishes to make concessions. He refuses to alienate his family, as the dismissed Chief of Staff is the son of his sister and at the same time the husband of his daughter. "I am no longer a child to be imposed with all this. Gaston Komba and Ngoh Ngoh do not run the National Assembly; they should stop their blackmail," Cavaye exclaimed to his close associates.

The President of the Assembly returned to his residence this early afternoon quite frustrated, even saying that if the Presidency wants to shut down his institution, let it do so. "I asked for two billion to finish the year, but Ngoh Ngoh conditions this support on the dismissals of my collaborators and sons. Let him leave; besides, this audit committee that is essentially after my head will be dissolved; let Baoro go tell it to his Ngoh Ngoh," he indicated.

The next hours at the National Assembly are likely to be intense.
