Anye Judith: President of AZICCUL Fortibuh Hilary and Madame Atamson Ngu Veronica have been suspended as members of the Board of Directors of the Azire Cooperative Credit Union LTD-AZICCUL, one of the biggest credit unions in Cameroon with a membership of over 29.000. According to the hint, the Azire Cooperative Credit Union where Anye Judith is President is wallowing in the gutter and suffering from self-skirmishes. Confidential sources hinted that the decision to suspend two members of the board of directors has taken observers as well as members aback. With only 4 out of 7 elected  board members now left to take decisions, skeptics are of the opinion that the one time most vibrant credit union may be heading for a crash. It is aired that Fortiboh Hilary one of the board members recently suspended was been victimized for criticizing the stand by AZICULL on the CamCCUL crisis.

Marafa Writes to President Biya

Image
Monsieur le président de la République, Le lundi 16 avril 2012, j’ai été convoqué par le juge d’instruction du Tribunal de grande instance du Mfoundi et écroué à la prison centrale de Kondengui, sans autre forme de procès. Vous avez certainement dû apprendre que j’ai demandé la récusation de ce juge d’instruction qui était venu me voir de son propre chef et qui, avec instance, m’a sollicité pour que nous nous « arrangions » afin qu’il instruise le dossier dans un sens qui me serait favorable ! J’ai tout naturellement refusé sa proposition. Je vous en avais rendu compte en son temps, pensant que le président du Conseil supérieur de la magistrature s’en serait ému. Est-il besoin de vous le rappeler, monsieur le président de la République, que c’est moi qui vous ai sollicité, par correspondance en date du 7 mai 2008 à vous adressée, pour être entendu par les instances judiciaires compétentes, afin d’apporter mon témoignage et contribuer à la manifestation de la vérité dans ce...

The recent arrest and detention of Chief Ephraim Inoni, former Prime Minister and Marafa Hamidou Yaya, former Secretary General at the Presidency of the Republic (formerly Minister of State for Territorial Administration and Decentralization) has completed the formation of a CPDM Shadow Cabinet in Kondengui and New Bell Prisons. Already five former Secretary Generals and Deputy Secretaries at the Presidency of the Republic have been arrested since 1997. What is now evident is that Operation Sparrow Hawk and Albatross has transformed President Biya’s closest collaborators to prisoners. It is hard to imagine that Titus Edzoa, Siyam Siewe, Atangana Mebara, Ephraim Inoni and Marafa Hamidou Yaya have formerly Secretary Generals and or Deputy Secretary Generals at the Presidency of the Republic have been arrested and locked up in Prison. This act, critics say is discrediting the CPDM as well the Biya regime publicly. That trustworthiness has become an endangered specie in some member of ...

Who is locked up now, the person carrying harden criminals?"  Fru Ndi used the occasion to mock at Marafa.
