Thousands Pay Last Homage to Shey Rose Muntah epse Tenguh in Awing



Shey Rose Muntah epse Tenguh
Shey Rose Muntah epse Tenguh was laid to rest in Awing village. Speaking during the funeral service Reverend Fritz Teneng Asobo, main Pastor of PC Awing told thousands of mourners that they should keep a-watch for no one knows when the master returns. He reiterated that “the master should not meet you sleeping so keep watching as a committed servant”. To him late Shey Rose Muntah had written her history the day she died and everything about her is referred to in the past now. “Rose might have been on the watch the time her master came calling; now it is for those you who are alive to worry about your lives. Everybody should live a purpose filled life and should try to live each day as an opportunity to do things right”, Reverend Pastor Teneng emphasized.
In his testimony, Shey Rose’s elder brother H.E Shey Jones Yembe (CEMAC Commissioner) described her late sister as a role model. Harping on what happened, he revealed that she died of a simple but dangerous killer disease which is blood clot. To him, her sister lived for others and was noble in her lifestyle. Though it is unusual to question dead, pricked by the pains to have lost someone so dear to the family, Shey Jones Yembe questioned why this dead of her buoyant sister. It should be recalled that Rose who died on Wednesday, May  2018 traveled on return to Yaounde, she was a victim of pulmonary embolism (blood clot) that was not detected immediately by medics.
 Mr.Tenguh on his part said Rose was no longer a wife but a sister to him. He said his late wife was the one taking care of him on his sick bed, how come she is the one who has died instead of him the sick man. “Go well and keep us in your mind” he told his wife.
Late Shey Rose Muntah before her last breath on May 2 was the main cashier at ZENITH insurance company with headquarters in Yaounde. She is lives behind her husband, her two sons and a huge family in Awing and Donga Mantung and nationwide to mourn her. She was born into the family of Bondi in Binka and got married in to the Akonji family in Awing since 2004

Barcelona players
 
La Liga champions Barcelona will play a friendly against South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns in Johannesburg on May 16 as part of celebrations to mark 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela, the Spanish club said on Thursday.
 
The game is being played at the FNB stadium, formerly known as the Soccer City stadium, where Spain won the 2010 World Cup with a team featuring Barca players Gerard Pique, Sergio 
 
Busquets and captain Andres Iniesta, who struck the only goal in their 1-0 win over the Netherlands.
 
“FC Barcelona has always professed its admiration for Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest figures of the 20th century, who after 27 years in prison went on to become the first democratically elected president of post-apartheid South Africa from 1994 to 1999,” said a statement on the club’s website.

“Mandela represented the struggle for freedom and equality in the country, and played a huge role in unifying the racially divided society. It is precisely this kind of spirit with which FC Barcelona has always been identified.”
 
Mandela was born on July 18, 1918.
 
The friendly is sandwiched between Barca’s penultimate Liga game away to Levante on May 13 and their final game at home to Real Sociedad on May 20.
 
Ernesto Valverde’s side clinched a 25th Liga title on April 29 and the King’s Cup on April 21 and are bidding to become the first team since 1933 to complete a Spanish top flight season without losing a game.

CPJ Urges Kenyan President Not to Sign Into Law Cybercrimes Bill

Uhuru Kenyatta
Nairobi, May 10, 2018 -- The Committee to Protect Journalists today called on Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta not to sign into law a cybercrimes bill that was recently passed by the National Assembly because it will stifle press freedom.
On April 26, 2018, the National Assembly approved the Computer and Cybercrimes Bill, 2017. The bill, among other provisions, criminalizes the publication of false news and stipulates hefty fines and lengthy prison terms for those found guilty of the offense, according to the Hansard, a verbatim published report of debates and proceedings in Kenya's Parliament.
"Kenyan legislators have passed a wide-ranging bill that will criminalize free speech, with journalists and bloggers likely to be among the first victims if it is signed into law," said CPJ Africa Program Coordinator Angela Quintal in New York. "We urge President Kenyatta to refer it back to Parliament so that members can ensure that its provisions are constitutional and do not violate the right to media freedom and free expression."
Clause 12 of the bill provides for a five million Kenyan shilling (US$50,000) fine and/or up to two years in prison for publishing "false" or "fictitious" information. Another clause--introduced during the morning debate on April 26 by National Assembly majority leader Aden Duale--states that anyone found guilty of publishing false information that "is calculated or results in panic, chaos, or violence" or that is "likely to discredit the reputation of a person" is liable for a fine of five million Kenyan shillings and/or up to 10 years in prison, according to the Hansard.
Apollo Mboya, an advocate and former chief executive of the Law Society of Kenya, told CPJ that the provisions on false news would make it easy for authorities to "gag" journalists with whom they do not agree.
He added that the provisions introduced during the debate that punish speech harmful to the "reputation of a person" are similar to a criminal defamation law that was declared unconstitutional by Kenya's High Court in 2017.
Other provisions of the proposed law are also likely to undermine freedom of the press. Clauses in the bill that outlaw unauthorized access and sharing of government data do not allow for a public interest defense to protect whistle-blowers, as noted by Mboya and according to an analysis by global free speech organization Article 19.
State House spokesperson Manoah Esipisu on May 4 told CPJ that the presidency would consider reservations about the bill raised in public statements and/or letters addressed to Kenyatta.
