NATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF HYGIENE AND SANITATION: WUM COUNCIL EYES THE TROPHY.



The Wum Council is poised to grab the title of the cleanness municipality at the Menchum Divisional level, following the mobilization of the population to give their municipality a new facelift by making it the cleanness town in Cameroon.

 

The campaign it should be recalled, is aimed at demonstrating to the communities, the importance of ensuring proper hygiene and sanitation for health and safety, encourage the Village hygiene and sanitation groups to champion efforts to promote proper waste disposal, and to support the local council by exhibiting in action, the value we attach to our various communities.

 




This Wednesday June 29th 2022, the population massively turned out from 8am to 12 noon to keep their homes, quarters and villages clean, not leaving out business premises. This new impetus found in the collaboration of the population, is a great sign that everyone loves a clean environment.

 

The National Hygiene and Sanitation Campaign that seeks to encourage Cameroonian towns to maintain high level of salubrity, shall be rewarding the cleanness town during this year’s celebration of World Habitat day in Bertoua.

 

Since the outbreak of the ongoing sociopolitical stalemate in the two English speaking regions of Cameroon, many households in Wum municipality have been abandoned, some streets neglected, gutters filled with wastes, bushy environments and dilapidated structures that are now an eyesore to the already battered image of the municipality. This national awareness raising campaign is not only a springboard to the Wum council and team, but also a wind beneath this local council’s wing as it sensitizes  its inhabitants for them to go back to the good days of yore.

 

The Sanitation & Hygiene awareness campaign initiated this 29th day of June 2022, has been taking the message of cleanliness in different parts of the Wum municipality through community mobilization. The participants including the community members, church leaders, the young and the old, have pledged together for the prosperity of the municipality, the subdivision, the division, the region and country at large through sanitation.

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 funct

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

  Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. 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
