Marafa Not Political Prisoner, Issa Tchiroma Says

Issa Tchiroma Bakary: Gov't Vuvuzela
Cameroon’s Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma Bakary has declared that Former Minister of State, Minister of Territorial Administration Marafa Hamidou Yaya is not a political prisoner. Minister Tchiroma made that statement on Friday, 16th July 2016 in Press briefing with local and International media. During the briefing Tchiroma debunked the report recently published by the UN working group on arbitrary detention. The report had indicated that Marafa was a political prisoner and called for his immediate release from detention. Communication Minister in reaction to the report said that Marafa Hamidou Yaya is not a political prisoner as indicated by the report but an ordinary prisoner who was found guilty and sentenced for embezzling state funds.  He continued that the letter by Marafa to the UN working group as well as the group’s report should therefore be doubted. Marafa, the Minister of communication added is serving a 20-year jail term as an ordinary prisoner and not politician.

On the other hand, the GCE Advanced Level dropped from 63.98 per cent success down to 60.41 per cent this year.  12 schools scored a 100% in A Level while 17 scored a 100% in the Ordinary Level. It is aired that results of seen schools have been withheld. For the GCE Technical results, we do not have the statistics. However, the Registrar of the GCE Board, Humphrey Ekema Monono is still expected to clear the air on widespread allegations that the GCE examination questions leaked this year in some centres around the country. Maybe the reason why the number of schools that have been suspended have increased geometrically. However, the mode of accessing to results just like last year is through a Mobile Telephone company.
