Elements of the Gendarmerie Legion in Buea yesterday manhandled the Subdivisional Delegate of Womens'Empowerment and the Family in Buea as they threw out her things from an office duely allocated to her by the Governor of the Southwest Region. According to the Delegate, Madam Array Bertha, the office in question has two compartments. She and her staff have been occupying one of the compartments since 2020. Five months ago, she was authorized to occupy the other compartment which they have been using as a safe space for the provision of psychosocial support to survivors of Gender based Violence. The office space labeled Lodge 115, is located the directly behind the "new" Grand Stand at Bongo Square in Buea. According to the Delegate, an individual who presented himself as an official from the Governor's office came to the office and ordered her and her staff to vacate the office.
Caught up in confusion, and still trying to understand what was happening, she was visited by gendarmes who ordered her to leave the office immediately.
In the process of the misunderstanding, the gendarmes dragged her out of the office in the presence of her staff, and packed all the things out of the office. The delegate invited a Bailiff to the scene to take stack of the things thrown outside. A source who witnessed the incident and perplex by unruliness of the uniform officers,wondering aloud that if this could be done to a delegate, "then na who well".
The minister must hear this.
