Populations envisage solidarity fund
By Johnson Batuo
As the Anglophone teachers strike gathers
steam, some concerned Anglophone parents have mooted the idea of setting up a
fund to pay the striking teachers, The Median has gathered.
We
further gathered that the fund is intended to encourage the teachers to carry
on with their strike action indefinitely.
We however could not establish when the collection would start and how
the funds would be distributed.
According
to one of the Anglophone parents championing the cause, the idea was hatched in
an in camera meeting of some concerned Anglophone parents. He further hinted
that other meetings have been scheduled by the group before selling the idea to
the public.
Another
person who was the part of the planning meeting also told The Median that
several person contacted have already sanctioned the idea of creating a fund to
assist the striking Anglophone teachers, adding that the teachers ought to be
encouraged to keep on with the Anglophone cause.
Though
the creation remains murky for some pertinent reasons, The Median has been
reliably informed that the funds raised would not be put in any conventional
bank, but in a carefully chosen finance house in town.
Pending
further meetings, the group has embarked on a census of teachers in Meme,
beginning with Kumba.
