The
President of the Cameroon media regulatory body - the National Communication Council Sir, I
write to complain of the biased use of Cameroon Public media :- CRTV Radio and
TV, Cameroon tribune newspaper… by president Biya to the disappointment of
other politicians which include me Felix Teche Nyamusa SDF 2018 presidential
hopeful(pending Primaries). The public media sponsored by tax payers’ money
should be equally accessible to all Cameroonians - Politicians, their political
parties, Civil Society… But if one person(s), group(s) monopolize(s) this free,
it is blatantly illegal and unfair and also robs the public of her right to
variety. This unprincipled/biased conduct has so far been the practice of the
over 30years on-the-seat President Paul Biya. President Biya and wife, cronies,
Biya’s party (CPDM) unjustly use the media - this is common knowledge to
Cameroonians – ‘Inside the presidency – Presidence actu’, the French equivalent,
CRTV TV Programme for instance on Biya is a total campaign of Mr Paul Biya
which opportunity is denied other politicians.
The presidency no doubt is a
state institution but if the presidents’ works or prescriptions and or
interviews are to be x-rayed/passed on public media, it should not be the
preserve of CPDM journalists as has been and still is the practice - media
professionals from varied media houses should partake. Mr Biya should be advised to exploit private
media or pay for his public relations or campaigns not monopolizing the media
which his rivals equally lay claim to. Not only CPDM ministers, CPDM militants
but as well Cameroonians from all walks of life including opposition
sympathizers should be made to partake as resource persons, on such state
programmes to give their own contribution in nation building. Thus sir, the National Communication Council (NCC)
which is supposedly independent, not biased should terminate without more ado
such incongruous practices and band deviant journalists and programmes as you have
rightly done to others to preempt imminent trouble should it continue. Needless
reminding us that injustice breeds war. The discrimination of Biya, CPDM regime
awash his reign and are exaggerated!
