Against calls for work resumption:

K’ba Courts remain grounded, blackleg lawyers shamed

By Johnson Batuo

Despite claims by the president of the Cameroon Bar Association that Anglophone Lawyers had agreed to resume work on Tuesday 2 May 2017, lawyers in the Meme divisional headquarters of Kumba failed to appear in court on Tuesday.

                 The president of the Bar Council NgnieKamga, made his declarations after he allegedly met with some senior lawyers in the Southwest and Northwest regions. 

 The president’s claims later erupted into legal punches between him and some common Law Lawyers who alleged that his claims were not the opinion of the generality of Common Law Lawyers.

                 The Median gathered that NgnieKamga met with some four senior Anglophone lawyers in Kumba.  These ‘blacklegs’, whose colleagues are currently languishing in jail in Yaounde, later obtained authorization from the DO of Kumba I to convene sentisization meetings to try to get their colleagues to go back to court on May 2.

                 We further gathered that no lawyer turned up for this meeting organized by the ‘blacklegs’.  These traitors who allegedly received huge bribe money have since disappeared into thin air following the discovery of their hidden agenda.

                 A senior lawyer who spoke to this reporter on grounds of anonymity said the junior lawyers, who have sacrificed their career given that due to the Anglophone crisis they are still under tutelage, are particularly irked by the dishonest behavior of some of the so-called senior lawyers who dined and wined with NgnieKamga.
