"So far, and since we started work here late last year, we have received a total of 64 complaints and treated 53 while 11 are under processing. Of these 64 complaints, 42 are within the ambitious of our mandate while 22 are outside our domain of competence." Tamfu Simon said

Former Prime Minister Philémon Yunji Yang has use the seminar to redirected the thoughts of both  "North West Elites" and the public on the concept of Special Status explaining that it is a new concept and thus putting in the right tools is the responsibility of all. According to the erudite politician and disciple of President Paul Biya, no limitations should be made for now. 

"The PIC is a product of section 62 of the 1996 constitution given the specificities of the English speaking regions, within the context of the Special Status." Tamfu Simon Fai noted
The information seminar featured largely administrators, government functionaries, members of the rulling CPDM party. Other elites from the region belonging to the opposition like the SDF party or civil society could not be seen. The SDF national chairman Ni John Fru Ndi is yet to respond to our message why there was no one from his party at the seminar
