MPs in Equatorial Guinea can only travel abroad after permission from First Son

Law makers in Equatorial Guinea can only travel abroad after getting permission from the First Son, Teodorin Nguema Obiang, who doubles as the Vice-president of the country.

In a letter dated July 27, the MPs are required to submit a travel request to the Senate or National Assembly who act on approval of the Vice president on travels.

According to the sources,  the move was made in ‘national interest ‘ after a failed coup was staged in January.

The source alleged that high ranking government officials and law makers travelled abroad to broker the power change that was nipped.
