The security challenges faced by Cameroon in various parts of the country was not left aside once more. House Speaker said despite the growing efforts of administrative authorities and defence forces to restore peace in give parts of the country, people have to remain alerted and be vigilant.
He told MPs when back home in their respective constituencies, to urge populations on security threats and also to keep contributing in the restoration of peace by denouncing terrorists and rebels as it is the case with vigilante groups.
“As you return to your constituencies, I would like to urge you to pursue more than ever before, the task of raising awareness on the need to stay alert, report and furnish information that is necessary to fish out terrorists, rebels and other highway bandits…” He said.
After the closing ceremony MPs reacted in order to assess the 30 days’ session.

Honourable Koupit Adamou deplored however the session dedicated to the budgetary orientation debate which to them was not fair and the fact that the voices of MPs from the opposition were booted out as well as recommendations always made were not taken into account.
Among the bills scrutinized and adopted, MPs have praised the bill on Medically Assisted Reproduction, MAR which to them gives a chance to women facing reproductive challenges to give birth. Lawmakers say the initiative set in place by the government is laudable.
