A CAMEROONIAN IN THE QUEBEC GOVERNMENT CABINET

Good morning dear readers and welcome to another news flash post here on DC. Today we will like to report the appointment of a Cameroonian  brother in a ministerial post in Quebec, Canada.

Who is he? What is he made of?

Well, Maka Kotto is not new to the political scene in Quebec. He was a provincial level politician and a former member of the Canadian House of Commons and currently married to Caroline St-Hilaire, the mayor of Longueuil; a city in the province of Quebec.

Before steering into politics, Maka was an author, comedian, actor and stage director appearing in the 1989 movie "Comment faire l'amour avec un nègre sans se fatiguer" based on the novel by Dany Laferrière. He also starred in another film entitled "Lumumba" in 2000.

Maka was born in Douala and graduated from high school at Lycée Henri-Martin in Saint-Quentin, France. He studied law, politics, dramatic art and cinema in Nanterre, Paris.
