| Cameroon's National Assembly |
How greedy can our so called law makers be! MPs in Cameroon’s
National Assembly are at daggers drawn over CFA 600million President Paul Biya
allocated to them for purchase of vehicles. It appears few MPs, (about 29 of them),
want to pocket the money, and this is not going down well with the rest of the
MPs.
They have written a strongly worded letter to the speaker, Hon.
Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, asking him for their share of the money.
It is worth nothing that officials of parliamentary groups,
notably the group leader, the vice group leader and the secretary are treated
as members of the bureau of the National Assembly. In this respect, the group leader
who has the rank of the vice president of the bureau takes home FCFA 60
million. The vice group leaders who have the rank of questors have a car
allowance of FCFA 50 million each, while the secretaries of the parliamentary
group in the same ranks with secretaries of the bureau, have FCFA 50 million
each.
