The Hall of
SHAME!
Edition No:8 February 2006
Paul Biya - Special Edition!
Hall of Shame Mission Statement
This site is dedicated to expose those shameful
people who think they can lie, cheat, steal and violate the principles of
basic humanity and remain anonymous. As you are aware, my involvement
 with
Cameroon began through the glazed eyes of a tourist. After a sham marriage
and the loss of my life savings to the corrupt judiciary, I now see the
plight of Cameroonians through much clearer eyes. It is through fiercely
protected anonymity, by those involved, that corruption heads down its
unbending path. These are the same people sitting in the pew next to you
in church on Sundays, who are stealing the food from your mouth and your
children’s education on Mondays. I say, lets take a look at these people
and let them enjoy the sleepless nights that they inflict upon others.
Exposure of these peoples' acts of shame is the strongest tool to drive
others away from these evil practices.
Is Cameroon so far down the toilet bowl of
corruption that it is beyond help? I think not, but the fact that many
wear their crimes as medals to their cleverness, and worse, that others
aspire in the same way to achieve like goals is a mentality worthy of
standing against.

Dear Fellow Corruption Haters,
Welcome to 2006, Hall of Shame style.
Many thanks to the readers who
supplied testimonies into the charges against Paul Biya. The
response was overwhelming and we hope for a similar response during
this month as we seek further testimonies into fraudulent banking
practices .(SGBC and Societe Generale, trial #2)
There are still a few missing photos for the Shame Files. We’ve
decided to increase the payment for good quality photo of the
remaining culprits to US $200. Imagine that, $400 waiting for a
creative individual at SGBC, Limbe! Further details in the
“Photographs
Wanted”
section. Those culprits might as well send their photos and collect
the money themselves. (That way, they could at least choose a
flattering photo). One way or another their photos will appear in
our Shame File!
As I scan through this months edition, all I see is Paul Biya & Paul
Biya! So we’ve
decided to call this newsletter #8 the
“Paul
Biya - Special Edition”.
Yes, this is one for the collectors. I notice that Paul has been in
the hot seat with pressure on him to declare his assets. I guess 23
years of collecting his billions must leave his memory a bit hazy as
to what he's spent the money on? That’s
where the friendly folk at H.O.S newsletter come in. We’ll
assist Mr Biya’s
memory by including a list of his assets in next months newsletter.
I think we know about 80% of the assets, but any caring person who
doesn’t
want Paul to strain his mind, and thinks I may have missed something
can add to the list by contacting me.

PREAMBLE:
(I )
The court has
received an enormous amount of witness testimony from a variety of
sources. These outline a wide range of crimes for which this court
holds jurisdiction to hear the matter as it so chooses.
(II)
Due to the variety
and volume of testimony, the court has ruled to only use the
evidence that is already determined as true and also only apply
the evidences that directly link Paul Biya to the crimes. The
missing information containing vast human rights atrocities can be
accessed through UN, Amnesty International and a variety of
government reports.
(III)
The jury (any
concerned citizen) is requested to carefully read the facts
contained in this case before voting on the Guilty / Not Guilty

(c) Three Rev Sisters at Ndjoum in the South Province
(d) Roger Motaze - a cousin to Jean Irene and ex-Aid-de-camp
to the president.
Note:
The murder
of Irene Biya served to cover up the billions embezzled from the
now defunct SCB Bank by Paul Biya. The murders of the Reverend,
the Reverend Sisters at Djoum and Roger Motaze served to hide the
crime of Irene Biya’s murder.
(e) That you also killed one CHURCHILL NEBA father of twins
with one Chantal Pulcherie Biya now your dear wife.
(2) That you PAUL BARTHELEMY BIYA as Cameroon's President
acted ultra-vires by
 Embezzling
from the citizens of Cameroon and are responsible for the

loans.
(3) That you
PAUL BARTHELEMY BIYA as Cameroon's President acted ultra-vires by
Raiding
Cameroon's natural resources for his own personal enrichment:
(a) That Paul Biya
illegally gave the former French President Gistard D’stang and his
son the illegal logging concession to a 42,000sq km area of
rainforest. (25% of Cameroon’s rainforest).
(b) That Paul Biya’s son also holds a vast logging
concession.
(c) That Paul Biya is responsible for the torture and death
of thousands of Anglophones in the Northwest & Southwest provinces
who wish to secede from the Republic of Cameroon. Human right
abuses are well documented internationally, though the brutality
continues unchecked.
Note:
Once
illegal shipments of rainforest logs reach French territory, the
load is deemed legal by French law, and thus Cameroon’s rainforest
are being stripped to little or no benefit of the citizens.
Shipload Of Illegal Cameroon Timber Found In France
Green Peace
attributes this to the weaknesses of the French as well as the
European Union legislation.According to Green Peace, every week,
ships loaded with timber from illegal sources in Africa, South
America and South East Asia land in France.
The Biya Military Regime, a Tradition of Corruption
One of the last biggest tropical forest reserves on earth is being
completely decimated in Cameroon.

Barrister Nico Halle

 |
Ntumfor Barrister Nico
Halle is an indefatigable campaigner for peace ,harmony,
tranquillity and has a canny mantle for a united North West
Province. If there is any member of Cameroon’s National Election
Observatory that supervised free, fair and transparent election
without a stain on his reputation, Ntumfor Halle, also North West
Fons Union Ambassador and Spokesperson is that one person.
Prior to Cameroon Presidential polls, this courageous fine brain
treaded where even angels could not dare. He caused ballot boxes to
be removed from Fon’s palaces including the one in the Lion’s den in
Balikumbat.
NICO
HALLE`S
PHILOSOPHY.
Traditional rulers should do politics but without infringing on
people’s rights. Reason why he condemns in strong terms traditional
rulers who take sides in politics and even compel their subjects to
join them through coercion, duress, force or outright gruesome
murders to frighten them vote for their own candidates when subjects
have theirs.
His God fearing nature, humility and respect to all and sundry ;his
anti smear campaign, anti corruption, bad governance, human rights
abuses, condemnation of dictatorial regimes and an unquenchable
flair for the development of Cameroon and his Province of origin
puts him at odd with many a politicians who appreciate his
popularity with an increasing nervous hallucination.
EXAMPLE.
When Ntumfor Nico initiated North West Development Forum after
successfully electrifying and building a magnificent Fon’s Palace
during his tenure as a Village Development Association President, NW
Government Ministers and some political gasbags became so frightened
that they quickly hijacked this million dollar idea and adulterated
it as North West Development Partnership incorporating only CPDM
supporters and militants as members.
Kudos
to Ntumfor because NWP, Cameroon’s Political capital-birth place of
Biya`s ruling CPDM and main opposition SDF party of Fru Ndi-is now
in one piece- without tribal skirmishes and electoral violence,
thanks to Ntumfor Nico`s reconciliation prowess most especially
given that his reconciliation out of the court angered some venal
judicial and legal gurus who thought and saw an opportunity to make
money from poor North Westerners. Today, Ntumfor is Chairman of All
African Conference of Church’s transitional team and prays to God
everyday for the betterment of NW and Cameroon.

My 2 Cents !

Cameroon - A sinking ship?
With all the
current discussion on achieving debt relief at the moment, it set
me wondering what actual benefit could the Cameroon public expect
to receive? We seem to be bombarded in Australia at the moment
with commercials showing starving African children and asking for
money to feed and educate them. Whilst I have the utmost sympathy
for the suffering, I don’t
see any real solution in this begging mentality designed to pluck
at ones conscience. (I know these ploys embarrass Africans,
 but
it empties the viewers pockets and that’s
good for someone’s
business.) Why not instead of using photos of starving and
emancipated children, use images of Africa’s
“leaders”
showing the luxurious lifestyles with palaces and aircraft with
gold fittings while the children starve outside the palace walls?
I think you might see a very different reaction by the sympathetic
in Western countries as to how to deal with the matter!
What happened to
all that razzamatazz last year with the
“Bandaid”
concert? So much time and energy, so much good intent has fallen
to the wayside and Africa is back to business as usual. It seems
like some magical slight-of-hand trick that has everyone looking
in the wrong direction. Perhaps if half the money finding its way
out of African countries and into foreign bank accounts were used
to invest in infrastructure, health, education and employment,
many of the woes now suffered might slowly disappear. If we
scrutinize the Cameroon government, how on earth can one expect
that debt relief will assist the citizens? The government is
determined to embezzle the money and hide it in foreign bank
accounts. Those banks holding embezzled sums of money (billions)
in false bank accounts or in the name of Africa’s
dictators should bear the brunt of the publics anger at the dismal
situation of some African countries. Why are people starving and
dying for lack of food or health facilities, while swollen
accounts sit in foreign banks? In Australian banks, the movement
of money, of $10,000 Aud (US $7000) and above are tracked by the
government for taxation purposes and the origin of the funds needs
to be explained. So, how is it possible that African ministers and
their children are opening and operating accounts with unexplained
millions? Perhaps if it were difficult to stash this money in some
overseas bank, some money might find its way to being invested in
the country from which it was stolen. Maybe you can’t
stop the thieves, but if some means were found that public money
taken overseas was accounted for, it would force the money to be
invested at home, to which at least the public might see something
in employment, better hospitals or an improved economy.
My
personal feelings are that those Governments, Banks and Investors
in corrupt regimes who want to go and play with those dictators,
must own their part in the death and misery they cause. The IMF
was foolish to lend the money to the Biya government. If they want
to fund palaces, overseas chalets, planes and Biya’s
extravagant lifestyle, then so be it! The resources that they knew
Cameroon possessed and were collateral do not belong to Biya. They
are the property of the citizens of Cameroon. The IMF needs to
collect its money from Biya’s bank accounts in
France! They
should knock on Societe Generale’s door, who seem
 to be involved in fraudulent activities between
Cameroon and
France. The IMF should not even be thinking to make Cameroonians
suffer even more for their greedy business decisions. The day when
banks become accountable for their actions, Africa’s
problems will be half solved. If some action isn’t taken now, where will
Cameroon be in
twenty years? Its oil reserves exhausted in American & French
vehicles, no remaining rainforest - that was shipped to France by
2010, and those blood sucking leeches who drained the country will
be sitting in Europe with their shrinking bank accounts.
Cameroonians need to claim what belongs to them before there is
nothing to recover.
(I wonder if that was four cents worth? The above commentary in no
way refers to the suffering caused through natural disaster, just
the man made disasters.) Below is a Cameroonian giving his two
cents.

What is your total?
Bravo Paul!
How many people die on bad roads in Cameroon every year?
How many people die because they could not even get to the
hospital?
How many people die because, they got to the hospital but no
medicine, no equipment and even no doctor?
How many people die of joblessness, misery, no hopes etc?
How many take up the profession of prostitution, banditry etc as
the only option and eventually die?
Think of how much money that has been siphoned by the CEO of the
butchery (Cameroon) and his few friends that ought to have been
used to create jobs, repair roads, build more hospitals, equip
them etc.
If you have ever lost a family member because of any of the
above, rest assured that, he or she was murdered. Use this
formula to calculate: Total number of people Murdered by the CEO
= Total number of people who died every year – 10% from natural
causes X 23 years. What is your total?

Quarter of a million people face food shortages in north
Under
Paul Biya's regime of corruption, impunity and frauds, Cameroon has
become poorer than it was in the 1950's during colonial occupation.
Africa's Sorrows.
Yet the
more African leaders receive aid the more they steal them and the less
they rely on their taxpayers, and the less they are accountable to their
people because they are loyal only to their foreign bank accounts and
those who sponsor them. They squander aid money at will since the donors
know, and usually get what they want; mining concessions, free access to
markets for their finished products, dumping rights and so on.
Photographs Wanted ($200 US each)
We are still missing a
few “Shame File” photos. In the interest of seeing that none of these
crooks escape under the Hall of Shame radar, we
decided to double the incentive to (US $200). Barrister Mbi (Solomon Chambers) is still in Kumba for
some lucky photographer. The last I knew, the SGBC Manager & Assistant
Manager were both at the Limbe SGBC branch. As for the Chief of
Territorial Surveillance in Buea, he is a large Bayangi man and was
there in 2002 / 2003 (Governors Office building). He can be identified
by Inspector Enow Stephen Etengeneng of Buea Judicial Police. Further
helpful information on these “Shame File Fugitives” locations can be
requested by contacting me at the address below. Photos must be of
similar quality to those used in previous shame files. Good luck with
the snapping. If you can send me a photograph of any of those people
listed below, and it is published on the shame file, a payment of $200
US shall be made to the sender. The personal details of any senders
shall remain completely confidential and shall be known only by myself.
Photos can be forwarded to
Camerooninjustice@hotmail.com.
Why not get some cash and at the same time let me expose them for their
corrupt ways?
Like I said, “This is your site too”.

February 2006
IMF Begins Scanning Cameroon's Triennial Programme
“The
Chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Observatory, disclosed recently
that a circa 50 percent of the state budget goes into private pockets
every year through various acts of corruption..." The budget for the
fiscal year 2006 is above CFA FRS 1000 BILLION. If about 50% of this
amount is syphoned every year it gives us an idea of how the national
economy is suffering in the hands of these superb leechers.
Cameroon's HIPC Completion Point In Sight - World Bank Official
This is
a joke. Please the Worldbank, IMF should not continue to loan our
corrupt gov'ts money. If they do, then they do not really care about the
poor masses because this money will go into the pockets of the current
corrupt government officials. I can't believe they are about to say
Cameroon has met their WB HIPC commitment.
US Ambassador Condemns 'Cosmetic' Anti-Corruption Measures* Wants Stolen
Wealth Confiscated
If this
man is serious, let him ask the French puppet, "Mon Cher Paul[Biya]," if
he or his late wife ever returned
the life-savings of their citizens they stole from the bank (BEAC???),
as was reported by its former manager in Jeune Afrique Economie after he
fled and gained asylum in Canada. They ruined the lives of families and
sent many people to an early grave.
Biya Challenged To Declare Assets
The
President of the Republic, Paul Biya, has been called upon to bow to the
provisions of article 66 of the country's constitution and declare his
assets.
Some Civil Society activists made the call during a press conference the
National Anti-Corruption Observatory organized at the Yaounde City
Council hall on January 17.
Sacrificing Cameroonians For Debt Relief
As if to further dampen the hopes of Cameroonians, economic murderers
continue to strike in 2005. Billions of FCFA belonging to customers were
lost to embezzlers at the Post Office Savings Bank. Many customers are
losing hope of ever getting back the money they toiled tirelessly to
save. Despite government's pledge to fight corruption and discourage the
embezzlement of public funds, most of the faces behind the Post Office
Savings Bank thievery are still enjoying impunity.

Silent Genocide And The Cost Of Liberation
Learned
barrister-at-law and defence counsel at the UN Tribunal for Rwanda based
in Arusha, Tanzania, Charles Achaleke Taku, has always pointed at various
actions by the Yaounde regime against Southern Cameroonians that could
qualify as genocide, which is one of the most serious offences in
international law.
The UN
Special Rapporteur on Torture, Sir Nigel Rodney, who did an investigation
on torture in Cameroon in 1999, reported that the practice is widespread
in Cameroon and found evidence that Southern Cameroonians (or Anglophones)
are particularly targeted.
CTE Workers On The Streets Again
Workers
of the Cameroon Tea Estate, CTE, in Tole, Buea, were out in the streets on
Wednesday,
January 18, with placards calling on the authorities to save their souls.
Niba, who
has worked with the CDC, now CTE, for 26 years, complained that since
1976, his salary had been deducted as Social Insurance savings. Virtually
weeping, Niba said his eight children no longer go to school because he
has no money. "I am speaking with tears in my eyes. All my eight children
cannot go to school. I do not work any longer. We are worn out.

The World Bank And Its Misguided Policies In Cameroon
The World
Bank claims that the advancement of broadly defined human rights is not
possible without development. Development of course is the bank's
business.Yet large
amounts of money continue to flow to governments that systematically abuse
human rights and have shown little commitment to alleviating poverty or
protecting the natural resources on which a majority of people in
developing countries depend.
The mass grave in the Bois des Singes & The «Bépanda Nine»
Reactions from all over the place are now being felt in Cameroon, because
of the on-going extrajudicial executions and mysterious disappearances,
including those of nine young men from Bépanda. So much so, that President
Paul Biya is now having to do something about it.
“Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”
I’ve read several Human Rights reports on Cameroon and one reoccurring
theme is citizens being detained on Fridays, thus suffering a weekend in
the cells before any chance of release can be arranged. I thought I would
share with you my own near experience of this abuse. The above convocation
is signed by the notoriously corrupt Magistrate, Ketuanze Jacob. Luckily a
friend arranged that I attended this meeting with a lawyer. Three pages of
charges made against me on this day, disappeared shortly after from this
office (Limbe State Counsel). While this attempt to have me locked up and
deported didn’t succeed, it was two days later that I was accosted by
soldiers with rifles at SGBC, denying me entry to the bank and accusing me
of attempted murder….. This was just the beginning. Fourteen months
later, it almost seemed normal to incinerate the vehicle at the US Embassy
in Yaounde. Glenn.

PROTEST ACTION AT
NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET LONDON
Organizers: SCYL, SCNC, in partnership with the Interim
Government (IG)
Date of action: 11 February 2006
Time of protest action: 14.00 – 17.00 GMT
Theme: FREEDOM IS A PRICELESS GIFT
Purpose of protest action:
For the freedom of Southern Cameroons political prisoners of
conscience being held in La Republique's torture chambers.
To force the Government of Her Majesty Kingdom to leave up to
its responsibility and failures on the Southern Cameroons
quest for self-determination.
To request the Blair's Government to bring pressure to bear
on the Yaoundé junta in halting its act of impunity, human
rights abuses and the illegal detentions, torture and
extra-judicial killings of SCYL and SCNC activists.
It should be noted that since the UK betrayed the Southern
Cameroons in favour of the French, this geographical entity (S.C)
has known nothing but slavery, exploitation and
underdevelopment. The Yaoundé junta has not only squeezed live
out of the Southern Cameroons in terms of resources, the have
moved well beyond to make us nothing short of second class
citizens and beggars.
In this light, the London protest is deemed one of our last
civilized DIPLOMATIC moves before we make a final onslaught to
free ourselves.

that betrayed
our forward thrust to independence.

Dear
H.E. Paul Biya |
 |
|
President Biya says
“Public funds are embezzled, it should be recalled, at the expense of the
nation. I want to say very solemnly today: This must stop.”
Mr
President, some questions for you to answer:
1)
You have a luxurious palace in Mvomeka with a private golf course and air
strip. Can you tell us where you got the money from?
2)
You once publicly called yourself a successful and you have many
plantations in the South province and Edea. Again, where did you get the
money?
3)
Your wife Chantal Biya does not have a profession and has no private
business. Yet she spends lavishly on
“charitable” projects. Can you order an audit into CERAC and Foundation
Chantal Biya?
4)
Your son Frank Biya, runs one of the most successful forest exploitation
companies in Cameroon, Ingenierie Forestiere which the WWF asked the
Cameroon government to investigate for illegal logging. What has become of
this?
5)
Your constitution says public officials must declare their assets. We are
still waiting for you to do this.
6)
The General manager of the then Cameroon Bank, Messi Messi fled to Canada
in 1989 and said publicly that you and your wife (Jean Irene) ruined the
bank by taking out huge sums as loans, which you never repaid. Up to this
day, you have sealed your lips on this issue!
7)
You build a government school (Les Cocinelles de Palais) in the Unity
Palace which your children and those of your friends attend while there
are government schools just outside your gate (Ecoles Publiques de Etoudi
and Ecole Bilingue d’Emana)
which are in deplorable conditions.
Listen Biya, you do not have the moral authority to fight corruption. The
Englishman says:
“He who lives in glass houses cannot throw stones”.
It is popular knowledge that you are a dishonest man and have used
Cameroon’s
resources to enrich yourself and your family beyond peoples wildest
dreams. You cannot then turn around and tell the policeman on the street,
the headmaster, the principal in our schools, our treasurers to stop this
habit. I have seen a SONEL worker in Bamenda take a bribe from someone who
was illegally diverting electricity. He did it openly in the house in
front of little children and did not even attempt to hide. He clearly said
that
“Biya is up there stealing his own share and I am just
following the pattern he has set for us”.
Mr
President, corruption in Cameroon can only be solved by your immediate
resignation together with those of your cohorts. We Cameroonians are
generous and can protect you from prosecution for any crimes in office.
Only then can Cameroon start on a new leaf with a new leader who at least
has the confidence of the people. But do you Biya have enough courage to
liberate yourself from materialism first and then Cameroon?
God

CAMEROON: New anti-corruption drive leaves many sceptical
"When I
complained that there were too many state servants who have been amassing
wealth from state coffers, I was told to show proof,” the former minister
- who later ran against Biya in the 2004 presidential election - said on a
state-run radio talk show.
“When I showed proof by forwarding 32 names to the head of state, nothing
was done, these people
were never sanctioned, and I had to resign.”
Cameroon Police Top World Corruption Chart
The 2005
world barometer of most corrupt institutions shows that the Cameroon
police force is the most corrupt institution in the world.
While the
police occupied the first position in Cameroon, and in the world, they are
closely followed by customs, the judiciary and the Cameroon
administration.

Next Months Newsletter.
Well, I hope Paul enjoyed that as much as I enjoyed crossing paths with
his judiciary. Anyone wishing to give any input into some of next months
issues should feel free. We’ll be putting a comprehensive list of Paul’s
assets together for public viewing next month. Also the votes shall be
tallied, verdict given and sentence passed in Paul’s Hall of Shame Supreme
Court trial. It looks like it’s going to be another big month for Paul in
the next newsletter. But then, who could imagine someone more deserving?
It’s
strange to think that five years ago, Paul & I didn’t have a clue who each other was, and now we’re
like old friends. Even our wives have something in “common”! But that’s
just our little secret, eh Paul!
We’ll
also be taking SGBC & Societe Generale to task in next months Hall of
Shame Supreme Court. So get those banking stories in by the 20th
Feb.
Plus
the usual hodge podge of the unusual and unbelievable that makes up Hall
of Shame. Till next month.
Take
care, Glenn
