The president of the lower chamber of parliament made this statement at the end of the parliamentary session in March 2016.
It is a statement that did not go unnoticed. In closing on Friday, April 8, 2016, the parliamentary session of March, the President of the National Assembly (PNA) congratulated Bidoung Mpkatt for his work as head of the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education, since his arrival in October 2015.
“The National representation congratulates the Government of the Republic, in particular the Ministry in charge of sports for all the efforts made so far,” said Cavaye Yeguie Djibril before continuing “especially for having absorbed the crisis of confidence that has long, undermined the Cameroonian football. “
The Most Honourable believes that “Hope is being restored gradually.” That is why he thinks it is necessary “now to consolidate this new climate and capitalize on each and other commitments,” said the PNA.
The speech of the president of the national assembly, the third personality of the country is far from being innocent in a context marked by critics from part of the public opinion directed against Bidoung Mpkatt. Criticism intensified since the latter took on him to sweep a backhand decision of the Chamber of Conciliation and Arbitration, canceling the election of Sidiki Tombi Roko as head of FECAFOOT.
“The message is unequivocal. He wants to legitimize the action of the Minister of Sports and Physical Education and by extension, the election of the current president of the FECAFOOT,” said a sports analyst. A speech that will not welcome by many football stakeholders.
