Statement by the Bakweri Land Claims Committee (BLCC) following the announcement on the Privatisation of the Tea Estates of the Cameroon Development Corporation - Thursday 6th June, 2002
In the last few days, information has been carried by the public Radio and the Press to the effect that the Cameroon Government has decided, unilaterally, to privatise the tea estates of the Cameroon Development Corporation.
The position of the BLCC has always been that most of the lands on which stands the plantation development of the Cameroon Development Corporation are private native lands, so declared before independence by the Colonial Administration, and which are contained in the German Land Register called the Grundbuch. In 1974, the Land Law promulgated by the President of Cameroon stipulated that all lands contained in the Grundbuch are private property, thus re-affirming the declaration of the Colonial Administration in this regard.
I will like to have information on every day to day activity on how you operate
