Re: [cameroon_politics] THE PURPORTED BAN ON ENGLISH IN NW COURTS A FICTION AND LIE OF GREATER PROPORTION

Hi All,

 

 The UN Plebiscite stated in the two alternatives, "a union of two states equal in status"

This was changed by LRC. The Constitution which said the Federal Nature of Cameroon,

must never be changed, was changed.

 

What stops them from changing the equal status of English and French as the official languages

 

Do not forget, "Cameroon is Cameroon"

"What prove have you brought to say the journalist's story is a lie?" 

 

It's a lie because Part 1 Article 1 section (3)  of the State constitution says:

"The official languages of the, Republic of Cameroon shall be English and French, both languages having the same status. The State shall guarantee the promotion of bilingualism throughout the country. It shall endeavour to protect and promote national languages"

What prove have you brought to say the journalist's story is a lie? At least he brought us the names of those appointed in the legal department in Bamenda who are all francophones so how are they going to work with the lawyers?

Truth is the platinum standard by which journalists are judged. When a reporter says that there is a ban on English language in a NW court and there is in fact a ban on English language in the said regional court, then the reporter has told the truth; otherwise, the report is false.

The report from the Cameroon Daily Journal regarding the purported ban placed on English in the Bamenda-based court is a lie and self promoting message from that paper and its owner. The advent of electronic journalism has not only improved the speed at which news is reported, but journalism itself suffers as a result of this important channel of communication.

Someone can just sit in his house in Buea and decide to create some sensationalism to increase traffic to his online news site. This misinformation and disinformation is a threat to journalism as a profession. This sale of commercialized lies and dramatic sensationalism of falsehood for personal gain should be condemned with the contempt that it deserves.

Cameroonians should watch out for this kind of yellow journalism, which is nothing but a sensationalistic and marketable fiction. While it is not bad for a journalist to distinguish himself and uplift the profile of his news channel, to do so at the expense of the truth confuses the reader and breaks all media ethics.
