Cameroon President, Paul Biya, and the Central Committee of the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement, CPDM, have been sued at the Supreme Court for long stay in power and bad governance.

According to a complaint from the Central Committee of the United Socialist Democratic Party, USDP, represented by its Chairperson, Prince Michael Ngwese Ekosso, addressed to the Administrative Bench of the Supreme Court and its First President, five counts are levelled against Biya and the CPDM Central Committee.

The registrars of the two courts acknowledged receipt of the complaints dated March 7, 2016, while the case is registered under No 244 at the Administrative Bench of the Supreme Court and carries registration No235.

In his complaint, Ekosso stated that; “Mr. Paul Biya and members of his Government have completely refused to apply Articles 65 and 66 of the Constitution with impunity. Article 66 calls on top functionaries of the State to declare their assets before and after leaving office.

The USDP Chair also complained that “the constituent membership of ELECAM is infested with CPDM militants, thus preventing a free and fair election in Cameroon.
