A proposed unified Leadership structure for Southern Cameroons--- President, Speaker and Chief Justice of the Congress ---

Dear brothers and sisters

Happy and Prosperous New Year to everyone

We must be focused to unite ourselves and keep going. Every journey has bumps along the way. We stop, rest and refuel the car and then get back on the road, right ! 

This is a unified  Leadership Structure of Southern Cameroons based in consensus building to attempt to unite all the people from all regions and backgrounds in order to proceed with one leadership body to lead our people with a clear vision, message and a strategic plan of action.

 

 

This is culled from the brainstorming of the Think Tank of the Confederation of British Southern Cameroons North America (CBSCNA). 

 

To this end how do we unite all Southern Cameroonians? It is simple. We should abide by governing principles and follow due process to consider the power of self –rule as a representative form of government.

 

To transform Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNC) into Southern Cameroons-Ambazonia National Congress to serve as the leadership body of the Southern Cameroons struggle. The leadership should reflect the three arms of government which are

 

1.      The Executive branch (President),

2.      Legislative Branch (Speaker of the Congress)

3.      Judicial Branch (Chief Justice).

 

These three leaders should then form an interim government and establish standing committees to work towards nation building.

 

Therefore the Buea Declaration should henceforth consider any leadership structure to reflect the three arms of government. The idea of upgrading SCNC to a Congress is designed to inspired, energized and mobilized people at the grassroots because it conveys the idea of independence and freedom. This is also going to be a powerful diplomatic strategy because it will prove to the world that we are ready for self-rule – to govern ourselves based on the principle of separation of powers as a representative form of government in which the people of Southern Cameroons are represented. That is why we endorse the Buea Declaration and subsequent peaceful marches henceforth

 

That they should consider regional balance and generational balance when selecting the leaders to join the congress and standing committees . Ask for the members of Congress they should determine the number of equal representatives from NW and SW regions like 10 or less delegates for each region.

 

That all the groups like CATTU, Lawyers Consortium, SCNC, SCAPO, MoRISC etc should send two delegates each to represent them in the Congress.  When these groups send their representatives, then everybody becomes a leader since they are eager to make a difference. The congress empowers them to represent the people through the regions and these groups. Of course it is understood that there are leaders amongst leaders which goes back to the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branch.

 

1.      The President of the Congress

2.      The Speaker of the Congress

3.      Chief Justice  

4.      Attorney General

5.      Secretary General

6.      The Secretary of Foreign Affairs

 

 Leadership Position of the Southern Cameroons National Congress ( SCNC)

 

The Congress Communication and Information Secretary

The Congress Secretary of Education

CATTU should be transformed into an Education Standing Committee under the Education Secretary of the Congress.

The Economic Committee should be under the Secretary of Economic and human Resources
