Cameroon: Drama at Pr. Maurice Kamto’s MRC installation ceremony

It was an awkward situation at the MRC coordinators installation ceremony at Nyong and Nkelle Division as the sympathizers loyal to the Founder Maurice Kamto were held hostage by traditional dance groups, catering service and bike riders for nonpayment of bills. All these happened in the presence of the party chairman Pr. Maurice Kamto himself.

The captors expressed disappointments at MRC for not being able to pay for services demanded.

“Why should they tell us to come and dance when there is no money to pay us” she says. We were hired from a very far village to come and dance and we need to be paid in order to go back home” she adds.

Some angry motorcycle riders vowed to collect their dues before leaving the ceremonial premises.

“We have accompanied them and spent the whole day here. Now they are telling us that there is no money. He says. We must wait here and take our money from these people” he adds

Onlookers say it took the timely intervention of the forces of law and order for peace to regain its place at the Eseka ceremonial hall.
