A press
release from the secretariat of both houses of parliament convened
senators and Parliamentarians for the start of the session on Thursday
10th March 2016.
As the tradition has been since the
creation of the Senate, the National Assembly will be the first to open
in earnest and later in the afternoon the senate will also resume.
The session which is the first for the
year in both houses will be opened by the eldest member in each of the
houses who will run affairs of the institution assisted by the two
youngest members until a new executive bureau is elected.
The session according to political
pundits is going pregnant with a lot of activities that might influence a
change of the political landscape in the country. Political analysts
are of the opinion that the session which is coming after the numerous
calls from the peoples of Cameroon for President Paul Biya to stand for
re-election and others calling for anticipated elections may lead to a
modifications of the constitution.
The political class contends that the
mandate of the presidency may be reduced and anticipated elections
organised. Another school of thought thinks that a national congress may
be organised grouping the two houses of parliament and it will be
presided over by the President of the Republic.
On the economic front the experts
project that the session will examine the level of execution of
construction works on the stadia that will host the 2016 female African
cup of Nations that Cameroon is due to host in November. The digital
economy which Cameroonians have been advised to embrace as an anchor
development should also be a preoccupation for the law makes who will be
questioning the level of implementation.
The fight against boko Haram is an
inevitable subject that would arise in deliberations especially as the
defence forces are making significant gains on the battle front.
