The interrogation followed a
complaint the victim of the alleged sexual harassment had lodged with state authorities.
Belinda Etombi Mbame, 39, a
junior staff of the hospital, is accusing the director of not only sexually
harassing her, but also of withholding her pay (from January to April 2015) and
other financial remuneration and of assault.
Her compliant was lodged with the State Counsel’s Chambers in
Buea and the Regional Office of the National Commission of Human Rights and
Freedoms (NCHRF),Buea on Monday May 11,the same day The POST newspaper published a scripted
interview of Belinda Etombi Mbame telling the world of where and how the director
had subjected her to harsh treatment reportedly because she refused to have sex
with him.
The Post reported that when they
contacted Dr. Enow Orock for his reaction after Belinda narrated her ordeal to
them, the Director refused to comment.
Also on Tuesday May 12, this
reporter and another, Ayang Mc Donald of The Eden Newspaper went to the
Director’s office to get his side of the story. Informed of our presence in the
waiting room, a fuming Dr.Enow Orock rather stormed out of his office and met us outside,
and when we told him why we came to see him, he angrily ordered us to leave the
hospital premises, insisting “No Comment”. He then dashed back into his office
and banged the door.
The Recorder gathered from court
sources that Dr. Enow Orock ‘s interrogation will continue on Monday, as well
as that of the Mayor of Buea,Ekema Patrick and Dr. Mbome Victor, Southwest
Regional Delegate for Public Health, cited as authorities to whom Belinda had first complained about the molestation
she was reportedly subjected to
by he Director.
It is only after Tuesday’s
interrogation, sources said, that the State Counsel will decide whether or not to
formally charge the Director.
