Cameroon Headlines, Buea, July 3 - Francis Sama Asanga,
President of the Cameroon Bar Association has hinted that the results of Bar
part I exams could be released this week. He said the delay in the release of
the results was as a result of the passing unto glory of barrister Innocent
Bonu, who played an instrumental role in the organization of the exams.
His words: “In the days ahead, by law, the results of
Bar Part I will be published by an order of the Minister of State, Minister of
Justice.”
The President of Cameroon’s Bar Association was
speaking shortly after the Ordinary General Assembly, Saturday, June 28,
organized for the first time in Buea.
He used the occasion to thank the Ministry of Justice
and the Bar Association for organizing the Bar Exams in 2014.
According to Barrister Sama, “the results of the Bar
part II exams had been long published and the lawyers are already being sworn
in, beginning with those of the North, last June 26, in honour of late Barrister Aboubakar. Those of the South West
will also be sworn in to honour the memory of late
Barrister Innocent Bonu.”
Sama dispelled rumours that the Bar exams were marred by financial
corruption scandals. He insisted that the exams were organized in all
transparency and fairness.
Reacting to gossips
suggesting that
he and late Barrister Bonu had opened an account into which candidates who sat
the bar exams paid the bribe money, Sama said “If anybody gave a bribe to the
late Barrister Bonu or to me, that person should come out publicly and say it.”
Sama promised to take legal action against rumourmongers who are trying to
assassinate his character.
