Prof. Kofele-Kale: "BLCC will Seek Legal Redress Against PriceWaterhouse Coopers for Participating in Dispossessing the Bakweri of their Lands"
RE: The Status of Bakweri Lands after the Sale or Privatization of the Cameroon Development Corporation
On the 24th February 2001, I addressed a letter to you and attached a copy of a separate one that had earlier been sent, on instructions of the Secretary General of the Bakweri Land Claims Committee (“BLCC”), to prospective foreign buyers of the assets of the Cameroon Development Corporation (“CDC”) which put them “on notice that a cloud continues to hover over the title to the lands on which stand the CDC plantations.”
In my 24th February letter I drew your attention to BLCC’s total opposition to any attempts by the Government of Cameroon (“Government”) to enter into ex parte discussions with these prospective buyers which exclude the Bakweri landowners and its resolve to take appropriate legal action “to block the sale of CDC property until the land ownership question has been resolved to the satisfaction of the Bakweri landowners.”
