The Minister of Labour and Social Security, Prof. Robert Nkili, July 7 appointed a commission to draw up statutes for journalists in Cameroon. Of the 26-man commission, only two Anglophones namely; Bouddih Adams of The Post Newspaper and Ekoko Mukete of Spectrum Television were appointed. According to the Ministerial Decision No. 037/MINTSS/SGI1, the Commission is to negotiate, elaborate and adopt a national statute for journalists and related activities in Cameroon.
The Commission is made up of two representatives of the Ministry, 12 directors of media organs (employers) and twelve journalists (employees).
For the Ministry are:
Oumar Alhadji Alifa who is President of the Commission and Boukar, Rapporteur. For the employers are Marie Claire Nnana - General Manager, GM, of SOPECAM and publisher of Cameroon Tribune, Amadou Vamoulke - GM of CRTV, Pius Njawe of Le Messager Severin Tchounkeu of Equinox and La Nouvelle Expression ,Andre Montauban of Nelson (an advertising company) and so on.
The other members - employees include Alain Blaise Batongue of Mutations and also a member of the Press Card Award Commission.
The decision has, however, stated that the budget of the Commission would be financed by the employers or directors of media organs. Critics maintain that the government is sacrificing the journalists and their statutes to the employers because it wants these same employers who are not paying the journalists well to fund the running of the Commission.
The employers could be tight-fisted in providing the funds just to make sure that the Commission does not function, the critics say.
