That Parliamentary Drama Played by SDF MPs and Prime Minister Yang

On November 29, 2017 MPs of leading opposition party SDF played another drama at the national Assembly.  Guest star of that day was no other person but the Prime Minister, head of government, Yang Philemon. The Prime Minister Yang who came to the National Assembly to present the 2018 government budget, was taken off guard when MPs of the main opposition transformed the house into musical theater.  Just at the time the PM was about to read the government budget for 2018, the MPs stormed the rostrum, seized the microphone, and went on with anti-Biya chants, blowing whistles and turning parliament into one of those scenarios in the Chinese film where everyone sings without a chorus. It should be recalled that the Parliamentary group had earlier in memo to the Speaker vowed they will continue disrupting all sessions till the Anglophone problem is included in this session’s agenda.
