ZHOA COUNCIL BUDGET HITS FCFA 1 BILLION

Zhoa Council in Fungom Subdivision of Menchum Division has adopted a sensational and impressive sum of 1,082,700,00 as its budget for the year 2021, witnessing an increase of 142,700,000 from the 2020 budget.

The budget was voted last Friday 4th December 2020 during the council's budgetary session.

According to the Mayor, Councillor Njah Titus Ndongkeh, the council's priority project is to raise the income so as to be able to realise the projects that could not be realised in 2018, 2019 and 2020 because of the socio-political stalemate in the two English speaking regions of Cameroon.

He said the bulk of the Zhoa Council's 2021 budget, over 50% of it is allocated for investment, given the fact that the municipality is under developed and enclaved.

Mayor Njah Titus Ndongkeh continued that the Council plans to rehabilitate some schools and curb the aspect of hygiene and sanitation that is still a major challenge especially in villages.

The Lord Mayor urgeď his councillors to come together, plan together, work together and learn to stay united in order for them to achieve their goal in 2021."It is therefore our collective efforts to mobilise the realisation of this budget."

The Senior Divisional Officer for Menchum Division, Abdoullahi Aliou, dwelled on security, as he said; "For any projects to be realised, there is need for peace to reign." He also expressed satisfaction with the increase of the budget, and urged the Mayor and his councillors to ensure permanent collaboration with state services and other structures put in place for decentralisation to succeed. He also encouraged the Mayor to leave no stone unturned as far as revenue generating potentials are concerned.

NORTH WEST PUBLIC INDEPENDENT CONCILIATOR

The PIC while addressing local masses in Wum Council area, Mr. Tamfu Fai, appealed to the government to create divisional representations. In the Anglo-Saxon tradition, it is customary to set up independent authorities responsible for settling disputes between users and regional and council administration. In line with this logic, Law No.2019/24 of 24 December 2019 to institute the General Code of Regional and Local Authorities provides for an independent authority called the Public Independent Conciliator (PIC) in the North-West and South-West Regions. The office holder is by no means a legal authority or a judge, as the competences and powers entrusted to him are not of a legal nature. The PIC is responsible, inter alia, for amicably settling disputes between users and the regional and council administration, defending and protecting rights and freedoms with regard to the relationship between citizens and the region or the councils thereof, conducting any investigation on the f...

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room. Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great. To others, (especially those in government), they were a threat to what government had given a pat on its back for a fast-track of the decentralization process with a Special Status for the North Wes...
