Fprmer interim FECAFOOT President, Joseph Owona
– Former minister, Joseph Owona, the man said to have single handedly revised the constitution of Cameroon in 1996, has published a book in which he affirms that for regional balance to exist in Cameroon, there is need for political power rotation from region to region.
Owona’s proposal is similar to an earlier proposal by presidential hopeful Nfor Susungi who has said that for there to be social justice and equality in Cameroon, power should be rotated between the regions.
Susungi is arguing that Francophones have ruled the country for too long, – 55 years, that it is time for Anglophones to rule. But both differ slightly in that Owona rather wants a broadened rotation between the ten administrative regions.
The 107 page book, entitled “Les System politique precoloniaux au Cameroun”, loosely translated as “pre-colonial political systems in Cameroon”, was launched last Friday on the campus of the International Relations Institute of Cameroon, IRIC.
Owona, former university professor holds that regional equality will bridge the inequality gaps created by religious, cultural and geographical differences, especially if all these aspects are considered in appointments into key institutions of the state.
Owona who is also Honorary Chancellor of the University of Yaounde II where he taught public law and political science, holds that the solutions for a new Cameroon, proposed in his book will give the country a Cameroonian way of life.
