Major National Dialogue: “They Needed Spectators, Not Participants”- Barrister Akere Muna.

By Raymond Dingana.

The leader of the Now Movement, Barrister Akere Muna has in a Statement On The Major National Dialogue dated 01 October 2019 [picture below ] add more flesh to the reason why he decided to suspend his participation in the event. He says, he suspended his participation in the ongoing dialogue as it became painfully clear that, they needed Spectators and not Participants.

Hear him: “The unfolding of the events of the first day of the Major National Dialogue revealed that, everything was carefully stage managed and produced from a script from which the organizers could not stray. From what is saw, it became painfully clear that, they needed Spectators and not Participants”.

On the topics to be handled on the dialogue table, Barrister Akere Muna laments that, certain topics were absent: “Worse still, certain topics such as the form of the state, and the situation of political and economic prisoners which are important in the current context have simple been avoided ”.

Barrister Akere Muna also intimated that, when he was received by Prime Minister Chief Joseph Dion Ngute as part of consultations that preceded the Major National Dialogue, he presented certain historical facts that were forerunners of the present crises and made certain proposals that he thought would ensure the success of the Major National Dialogue.

Akere Muna also used the statement on the Major National Dialogue to frown at the manner in which things were done on day one of the event: “I was hoping to find a platform where all stakeholders will make their voices heard and where all opinions, however divergent would be taken in to account because, frequently, a way out is found at the end of a healthy debate”.

He however promised to continue working tirelessly for the restoration of peace, social justice and national cohesion in Cameroon.
