Bui SDO asks politicians, traditional rulers to return home
By Nukapuh P.
The Senior Divisional Officer (SDO) of Bui division in the North West region has called on politicians, traditional rulers and other government authorities to return their areas of command and reconcile with the people in the North West and South West regions.
According to Menyong Gilbert, SDO of Bui division, there can be no effective reconstruction and sustainable development in the socio-politically disturbed regions if representatives of the common people seat in Yaounde and only return home during elections.
The SDO was speaking on Friday April 14, 2023 during the national territorial planning and sustainable development plan meeting in Bamenda. The meeting which brought together the representative of the Minister of the economy, planning and regional development and other authorities of the North West region was aimed at discussing the way forward for projects earmarked in the 5-year action development plan in the region.
“We have some who come here mostly during election periods and some end up at the Ayaba hotel and return to Yaounde. I think that their voices count a lot as political leaders and being representatives, they have a responsibility to address their people when things are not going on well,” the SDO said.
The Senior Divisional Officer added that if some of these issues are not addressed within the government, objectives of the sustainable development plan may not be achieved by 2035.
During the meeting, sustainable development projects were discussed as hilighted by a Tunisian consultancy firm which was contracted for the 2035 projects.
Projects were hilighted in the domain of agriculture, technology, health, education, road and many others, as the authorities tabled additional projects and areas to focus on during the execution process.
