Big Temptation! Ayah Paul going back to serve the Biya’s regime?

AYAH Paul ABINE, PAP Chairman and SCNC Leader

Cameroon Journal, Yaoundé – Barely a week after People’s Action Party PAP Chairman, Paul Ayah was elected in Kumba to head the Southern Cameroons National Council, President Biya did something unheard of –appointed him a Supreme Court Advocate.
The appointment among others came following the holding of a meeting of the Higher Judicial Council at the Unity Palace Thursday Dec.18.
The move has been seen by many Anglophones as a strategy by the Biya’s regime to stop Ayah Paul from pressing on with activities of the secessionist group.
The meeting of the council attended by ten members, scrutinized disciplinary files of magistrates, appointments, reclassification, promotion and the integration of newly graduated magistrates from the National School of Administration and Magistracy, ENAM, into the magistracy corp.
Besides Ayah’s appointment, the Supreme Council witnessed changes at the helm with the appointment of Daniel Mekobe Sone as president of the court, replacing Alexis Dipanda Mouelle who has served the institution for 25 years.
At the audit bench of the Supreme Court, Andre Belombe was appointed to replace Clement Atangana who also goes on retirement, while Luc Ndojo is the new state prosecutor at the Supreme Court replacing Martin Moulong. 17 advocate generals were also appointed to the court.
Paul Ayah has so far not commented on the appointment and at press time we could not get in touch with him to sample his opinion about the appointment.
