Cameroon: Mafany Musonge has resigns as senator

Former Prime Minister Peter Mafany Musonge has submitted his  resignation letter to the president of the Senate in Yaoundé . It was during a plenary session on Wednesday.
Musonge is the current and pioneer president of the National Commission for the Promotion of Bilingualism and Multiculturalism created some months ago to handle problems related to the bilingual and multicultural nature of the country.
Until now, Musonge had been occupying two positions; senator and president of the commission.
This resignation is a desperate attempt to abide by some of the rules of the Electoral Code, which prohibit parliamentarians from holding any other elective post or any public function.
This decision is coming at a time when the pressure from critics was already going out of control.
Some media outlets had raised concerns about the integrity of the former PM.
Th Commission for the Promotion of Bilingualism and multiculturalism was created by Paul Biya in the wake of the unrest in West Cameroon. One of its most important objectives is to curb the linguistic marginalization of West Cameroonians, a mission which is rather challenging.
