Honourable Mola Ebenezer Mwendi Litumbe, we went back a long way to 1965 when my father, Prince Shadrack Tambe Tambe, was a teacher at the Bokwaongo Primary School. You were good friends and one of my brothers was named after you. Your son Essaka and I were also contemporaries in Presbyterian Secondary School Besongabang. While in the United Kingdom, I got to know your daughter, Hannah, who is married to my very good friend Aloysius Mbako. Our personal paths crossed again recently when I settled in Bokwaongo and we both worshiped regularly at the Likoko-Membea Presbyterian Church on Sundays. We would converse after each Sunday service checking on each other's personal state and activities. We last met in early June this year around the Soppo market when you updated me on your wife's state of health after her hospitalization in Douala. I deeply regret that we did not meet again before the cold hands of death took you away permanently. May the Good Lord who saw through your earthly pilgrimage and tribulations give you solace in His Kingdom. Rest in peace, Honourable Mwendi Litumbe.
