And if you pledge total honesty and commit to maintaining the integrity and credibility of this effort by sticking to facts and nothing but facts in your reporting…

Then, kindly send an email to Ntumfoyn Boh Herbert advertising your interest in contributing to the success of this initiative which will include producing a film on these violations; and by Also indicating what acts you have witnessed or documented. The email address is: herbertboh@yahoo.com
