Prime Minister Philemon Yang has
installed the 15 members of the Musonge Commission. Before commissioning the
members today at the Yaounde Congress Hall, Prime Minister Yang Philemon called on them to be duty conscious and reminded them of the roles and responsibilities. Appointed on 15 March, 2017
following its creation on January 23, 2017 by the Head of State, they are
expected to play a primordial role in informing government on pertinent issues.
The creation of this commission was one
of the remedial measures to the sit-in strike action by Common Law Lawyers and
Anglophone Teachers’ Trade Unions asking for a better consideration of the
bilingual nature of the country, reasons why President Biya signed a decree to
lay down the Establishment, Organization and Functioning of the National
Commission for the Promotion of Bilingualism and Multiculturalism. In
announcing his decision to create the Commission, President Biya on December 13,
2016 while addressing Cameroonians said it was important for sons and daughters
of Cameroon to learn to work together, paying little attention to divisive
issues given the intricacies involved.
Prospects are high at that with members
of the Musonge Commission drawn from diverse backgrounds their experiences,
knowledge and ideas will go a long way to consolidate diversified opinions.
