Ntumfor Nico Halle Whacks Ngnie Kamga Over Anglophone Lawyers’ Strike

On what will happen to the 20 other Anglophones still held in detention at the Kondengui Prison, Ngnie Kamga retorted “Which other people? I do not know them. My concern as a Batonnier is about lawyers and not about some other people”.

Touched by such utterances from his colleague, the President of the General Assemblyof the Cameroon Bar Association, Barrister Nico Halle, said Ngnie Kamga has no such rights to call off the Anglophone Lawyers’ strike

“It is not his place to tell Anglophone lawyers to resume work,” the legal luminary asserted

According to Barrister Halle, the Cameroon Bar Association is not the institution that can call off the Common Law Lawyers’ strike, because, the strike was not launched by the Bar.

“I cannot ask Common Law lawyers to resume work, when I did not ask them to go on strike, in the first place. The strike can only be called off by those who launched it - Common Law lawyers - and not the Bar Association. Though I am a Common Law Lawyer, I cannot accept even to be delegated to make any pronouncement in the name of Common Law Lawyers concerning the strike, because, I am currently the President of the General Assembly of the Bar Association which is national,” Barrister Halle explained.   {loadposition myposition2}
