Cameroun Supreme Court President says the nation has failed under Biya
The President of the Supreme Court of Cameroun, Lord Justice Daniel Mekobe Sone used the solemn sitting of the judicial recess on February 22nd 2017 and gave a shot at the ills that have rocked the Cameroonian society under Paul Biya. In accordance with article 33 of the law of December 29th determining the organization and functioning of the highest court in the land, Lord Justice Mekobe wondered aloud if Cameroun is governed by the rule of law.
The Supreme Court president avoided statements on the arrest of Lord Justice Ayah Paul Abine and observed that Cameroun was facing an intolerable drift in the rule of law. To illustrate his message that the nation has failed, Lord Justice Daniel Mekobe Sone cited as an example, “people beaten at public places for robbery, the triumph of popular justice, inflation of crapulous crimes, ritual crimes directly or indirectly attributed to individuals suspected of witchcraft, the example of employees who hold their employers hostage in the enterprise, the populations of our villages who barricade roads to claim payment of their compensation, the landlord who remove windows of their tenants, the attitude of some teachers who desert classrooms or amphitheatres to demand improvement in their working conditions or the response to their various demands and the media lynching of honest citizens.
Daniel Mekobe Sone issued the normal CPDM statement that Cameroon remains a state of law. Critics of the speech said the Supreme Court president is a toothless bulldog that barks but cannot bite and that Lord Justice Mekobe is just another ordinary Biya appointee.

Puppet praising his master. The rule of law doesn’t exist when anarchy reigns supreme under the CPDM crime syndicate and the people stand in objection. An unjust law is no law.

The supreme Court is the first to failed. Failure to blame the master biya is an indication of the failed state. He complain about state failure but also failed to point fingers and call Biya’s regime directly to solved the problems of the masses particularly that of the anglophones inflicted by the majority Beti – Ewondo hegemony to the innocent english speaking Cameroons for theily largely selfish egos.
Its time Biya himself hurriedly cleared the mess or for ever re great even in his grave

This efforts and struggle lead no where if you ignore the rather unfortunate strength of voilence. Not the best tool to use but that is unluckily the most effective language African leaders understand. This is also the only strong signal the international community awaits before reacting.
