Party Chairman Arrested for Organizing Own Wake Keep in Bamenda

Cameroonian Politicians and The Individual Buffoonery: Case of Rev. Kisob Bertin

Politics is an art of the impossible they say. Rev. Bertin Kisob, chairman of the Cameroon Party for Social Justice was arrested yesterday July 22, 2015 in Bamenda for organizing and participating at his own wake-keep. He was arrested by elements of the Special branch in Bamenda. Rev. Kisob’s political madness is that every time he jokes with death. Not long ago, Kisob announced he was dead and this week he resurfaced with another scheme announcing his own wake-keep. The idea of people pronounced death in politics is nothing new. The first Nigerian President, Namdi Azikikwe is said to have died 9 times before finally kicking the bucket. But the idea of living persons sitting and presiding at owns wake keep is the newest political psychosis and the greatest buffoonery ever. The Bamenda self proclaimed political prophet is surely the price Cameroon have to pay for the creation of over 300 political parties. Cameroon Party for Social Justice’s Re. Kisob claims he initiated the “Biya Must Go” slogan and is going to stage a protest in Yaounde on July 29, 2015. Ahead of the “Biya Must Go” protest, Rev. Kisob decided to organize his own wake keep on grounds that he might be arrested in Yaounde during the march. But what makes Kisob a political buffoon is that while predicting his own death on July 29, he is planning to stage another protest in Douala on August 26^th surely after death. In a Press release Kisob wrote "
