The president of the Organisation of Human Rights and Citizens' protection, Prince Nasser Raoul Kemajou has taken a stand to the recent happenings which hit the country in February and led to destruction of property and lost of human lives.
He was speaking from his head office in Bonanjo during a press Conference, held after the socio-economic deluge that Cameroon went through for four days.
The human rights advocate said, there is nothing bad in changing the constitution because according to him the constitution was lastly reviewed in 1996. So far he said it is just like a colonial document which does not reflect the situation of the country today. He said the constitution must be revised so that it ties with contemporary realities.
He said, he said he regrets the massive destruction of property and lost of lives of many principally the youths who were the principal victims. He said the explosion which occurred during the Transporters strike is what they had decried in an open letter dated 19th February to the Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation, copied the Littoral Governor and the Head of State.

Prince Nasser also made an analysis of the socio-political situation of the country which according to him certain persons wanted to destroy due to their egocentric interest. According to him Cameroonians are held ransomed for whatever thing that happens to them. He called on Journalists to practice more of developmental journalism which will polish the image of Cameroon rather than sabotage which will only go a long way to destroy the Country's diplomacy.
