St. John Ambulance: Not sole proprietorship-Chairman

Members of St. John Ambulance have been told that the London based humanitarian organisation is not one man business or sole proprietorship.

The National Chairman of St. John Ambulance Cameroon, Kum Fabian Nji made this declaration on the occasion of a meeting convened to beef up registration of members that took place at Club 75 Kumba on Saturday 5 April 2014.

Kum Fabian, who was probably referring to the infighting within the organisation before his unanimous election as Chairman on October 21, 2013, averred that the Saturday meeting was convened by the council to drum up the need for registration and decentralisation of the organisation, given according to him, the organisation went into slumber because of egoistic tendencies.

He further reiterated that with time each of the three subdivisions in Kumba, would have a branch of St. John established there and that persons from these subdivisions who would have to register and prove themselves committed to the basic tenets of the organisation before given positions.

He further added that after the Saturday deliberations, the council members would sit and deliberate on the suggestions and opinions of its members and that after the councils modalities are made known; no questions would be entertained even from the old members. The council made up of seven members is the decision making arm of the organisation.

Before the question and answer session, the legal adviser, Barrister Ashu Achem, took time off to address some legal aspects of St. John Ambulance in Cameroon. Some of the council members present, included Diana Arrey, Michael Bezayia and Shengang Richard. Kumba is the headquarters of St. John in Cameroon.
