All municipalities within the Division will compete among themselves. The competition has equally been extended to municipalities within other regions of the national territory. The municipalities will be awarded based on the criteria of cleanliness, hygiene, salubrity, embellishment, waste management, mobilization of local population, amongst others.

According to the Menchum Divisional Delegate of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Chebisuh Emmanuel Neba , the national competition since its inception in 2019, has greatly encouraged local initiatives in issues of hygiene and sanitation through public sensitization as well as the actions of some local development association. The population of most neighborhoods benefitted from actions to improve drainage and sewage disposals, cleaning of gutters, the collection and disposal of several tons of plastic bottles from water courses in towns and villages around the country. There has been the general mobilization of all associations and other development groups in the quarters as a result of this competition.

 

The objectives of the "clean town" competition from the global front according to the Divisional Delegate of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Chebisuh Emmanuel Neba, is to select the Cleanest Council within the Division that will compete at the Regional Level ahead of the National Competition.

 


Also, organized at the level of the Division, this competition aims at sensitizing and mobilizing actors of the operation for the rehabilitation of urban space and the living environment, while promoting and sustaining local initiatives in matters of hygiene and sanitation.

Above all, the competition has gone a long way to enhance national mobilization for hygiene and sanitation as well as the beautification of several towns in the country.

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.

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
