A statement by Martin A. NKEMNGU rapporteur of the sub committee of the Theme “POLITICAL CHOICES OF THE SOUTHWEST REGION” presented at the Southwest Forum which held in Buea on 25th August, 2018.

Martin A. Nkemngu was appointed rapporteur in one of the four Committees of the Southwest Forum.

Their committee was under the Theme “POLITICAL CHOICES OF THE SOUTHWEST REGION ” under the chairmanship of Hon Benjamin Itoe assisted by Hon Nfor Tabetando.

The Committee had over 100 participants who deliberated on their theme.

The Committee deliberated and insisted on their choices.

The Rapporteur was mandated to readout at the plenary session what was dictated to him by the experienced statesmen who dominated the deliberations.

As a professional journalist i do not usually take sides on matters of public interest.

IF WHAT I READ HAS OFFENDED ANYBODY IN ANYWAY, I WISH TO STATE THAT IT WAS NEVER MY THOUGHTS OR BELIEFS.

I wish to use this opportunity to make it abundantly clear that I never went to the forum for any personal gain.

I further state that I left the forum without any financial or material compensation of any kind.

Thanks.
