A beautiful example of the role of the judiciary in checking the executive's abuse of power and violations of the law. I take my hat off to Justice Chi Valentine for doing what is right and just. To Barristers Ajong Stanislaus, Blaise Sevidzem Berinyuy and the Fako lawyers, thank you for taking the challenge in fighting for justice for our people. It is only in so doing that we will establish the rule of law in our country. Way to go people. Keep on, keeping on!

Breaking News

The Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Alliance (LDA), Mola Njoh Litumbe, got judgment today against the Buea Divisional Officer Mr Chekem Abraham who, after receiving due notice from the LDA for a public Press Conference, for no valid reason, banned the meeting and ordered the forces of law and order to encircle the venue of the meeting and kept Mola Njoh under house arrest from 7.0am to 6.0pm. The Fako High Court presided over by the Hon. Justice Chi Valentine ordered the Divisional Officer to always comply with the liberty law which provides that persons are free to hold public meetings, no matter their purpose, so long as they file a declaration to the competent authority at least three working days before the event, as the LDA had done.

The Court took a dim view of the DO's conduct by not even putting an appearance, when he had been properly served by a bailiff on 28th February 2013 for a case listed for hearing on 11th March 2013. The Fako High Court's Judgment on the Law will educate Administrative Officers who still live in the past by believing that official censorship laws, longsince repealed, are still in force.

Extracts of the Judgment will be released when obtained from the High Court Registry.

Barristers Ajong Stanislaus and Blaise Sevidzem Berinyuy appeared for the Liberal Democratic Alliance.

The Buea DO was not represented.

There is nothing Kool about smoking. Though smoking is not a big problem in our community, our children are in danger of smoking. 20% of college children in the United States smoke. Watch what games your children are playing as tobacco companies are reaching them through video games. Watch out for new products like smokeless tobacco and free tobacco gifts. Are you and your children hanging around people who smoke? Second hand smoke is as dangerous as smoking. 80% of the one billion people who will die from tobacco in this century will be from poor countries like Cameroon. Protect your loved ones from tobacco.
