The Cameroon Association of English Speaking Journalist-CAMASEJ has distributed
to her members a liter of hand sanitizer each to permit them stay safe as they
go about with their job of informing the population. The liters of hand
sanitizer were handed over to closed to fifty members of the association during
its monthly come together that took place in Nkwen, Friday April 10, 2020.
While handing over the litters of hand sanitizers, North West Chapter President
of CAMASEJ, Ambe MacMillan said the hand sanitizers were made available thanks
to a joined effort of CAMASEJ and the Regional Delegation of Public Health for
the North West. He furthered that, CAMASEJ benefited from a 25% discount
offered to them by the NW Regional Delegation of Public Health.
He added that, the hand sanitizers are not just for the journalists,
inviting them to share with others. Ambe MacMillan also intimated that, CAMASEJ
has contacted one of Bamenda’s renowned artists/Graphic Designers by name BOBO
LINOX and he has promised to support seventy journalists with face masks.

Apart from blessing the journalists with hand sanitizers, they were
also called upon to be responsible as they go about reporting on the COVID-19
Pandemic. They were invited to report not to instill fear but educate the population on how to
stay safe by taking all the preventive measures seriously.
According to Mbaku Jude, journalist and member of CAMASEJ NW, the
initiative is a commendable one:
“I think what I got from
CAMASEJ is commendable. It is not like I can’t buy as a journalist, but I think
the idea of the association to remind us as primary information carriers and
advocates to be able to practically do what we urge others to do. It is
commendable and every association or persons worth the salt should emulate this
right in to our communities”. Mbaku Jude told DrayInfos.
With the hand sanitizers in the hands
of journalists and CAMASEJ members, it is clear that, while discharging their
function as journalists, their safety in the hands of Covid-19 is guaranteed
especially as calls have been made for journalists to not only talk on the
preventive measures but also put them in to practice.
