Journalists of the private media hardly cover ceremonies bringing together all government ministers like the monthly cabinet meetings usually presided over by the head of government.
Occasions like that of last Monday give the unique opportunity for these inquisitive journalists to find out hidden knowledge about their interactions.
The minister of justice and keeper of the seals who is former minister of state, secretary general at the presidency of the republic, Laurent Esso arrived the conference centre last Monday a little earlier than other ministers. But he was offered a seat just like any other ordinary minister.
What attracted our attention is that all ministers who shook his hands stood up before doing so. Esso would not smile though the ministers’ handshakes were accompanied by seemingly-panic smiles.
