Me Joseph Mbah Ndam Archives
The National Communication Secretariat of the Social Democratic Front, SDF has announced that in a bid to immortalise the memory of late Hon. Joseph Njang Mbah Ndam, it will publish a special edition of the SDF Echo.
“To this intent, we are coming up with a special edition of SDF Echo as a requiem to the deceased. This special edition shall be uniquely online,” Denis Nkemlemo, SDF National Communication Secretary said Tuesday.
65-year-old Hon. Mbah Ndam, National Legal Adviser of the opposition Social Democratic Front, SDF, party died Monday, April 13, 2020 in Yaoundé shortly after he was rushed to hospital for medical care, SDF’s National Communication Secretary said.
Mbah Ndam became Member of Parliament for Momo West Constituency (Batibo) following the May 17, 1997 Parliamentary Elections in Cameroon that saw the SDF win 43 of the 180 seats at the National Assembly. He was voted out on March 22, 2020 after close to 23 years of service.
The SDF says some personalities have started writing special tributes in honour of the memory of the departed politician.
“We will compile them and many others that interested persons will write and publish them in this special edition during this mourning period,” said Nkemlemo.
“Contributions are welcomed from everybody, whether you are an SDF member or not, because he was a man of party, national and international dimensions. You write how you knew him, how his ideas, actions and positions on issues, whether in the Party or national, touched you. In short, how you felt about his presence here on earth. Special photos on some of his actions are also welcomed.
“You can send your write-ups or photos directly to the SDF Echo editorial board through [email protected], or contact the SDF Secretary-general - Senator Jean Tsomelou, Grace Ngwafor in Bamenda, Senator Haman Paul in Ngaoundere, Kejang Henry or Ngameni Joseph in Douala and Jean Robert Wanko in Germany. For any more information you may want to have, I respond on +237675637789, [email protected].”
Mbah Ndam was born on February 28, 1955 in Batibo, Momo Division of the then North West province. He has been a member of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the SDF since 1991.
Besides being a politician, he was a visiting lecturer at the Faculty of Law of the University of Yaoundé from 1988-92. Until his death, he was the adviser on legal and judicial matters of National Financial Credit Bank and chair of Union of cultural and development association of Momo division.
