Government Scam!Amba Separatists blog in arm villages as Reconstruction funds is being maneuvered upon
Amba Separatists blog in arm villages as Reconstruction funds is being maneuvered upon Recent outing by members of the Presidential Plan for reconstruction and development of the northwest and southwest regions, on the successful project execution for the past two years by the said commission has just been disproved by our sources and the ground population in villages, that non of such projects have been carry out in any part of these arm communities, this, as villagers and community leaders reported to the Alternative newspaper.
Speaking to the Alternative Newspaper, a village development association president whose name has been withheld for security reasons, and other rural elites revealed with affirmation that, they have not seen any such team within their various communities which has been going through constant burning and destructions by the said military. They unanimously tool the media of the ongoing continues harassment and treat from government forces and the killing of youths who have no direct connection with the Amba separatists within villages. Counting on the numerous atrocities, they rejected every claim on the successful projects execution in the two regions, from the coordinator and members of the steering committee in their national report
The sources declared in strong term that, since the inscription by the head of state to reconstruct and develop the regions and project backed by UNDP and other international funding agencies, that it has been a fallacy to the realities and purpose intended for the communal benefit that had been destroyed during fire exchange.
To them, government claim is a scam and that this should be checked. Fact checking on the continues lockdown to have given the government of Cameroon hard times in penetrating any of such villages over the past 20 months and yet they have not seen any work taking place in the name of presidential plan.
The sources further questioned state mechanism put in place to oversee and monitor project activities in arm villages as an independent institution with full legal rights and autonomy.
Eye witnesses in arm villages say, government is putting a blind eye and ear to the atrocities and genocide taking place in the two regions with many actors that have come up telling the regions how powerfully they can kill and maimed youths, women and children yet the state of Cameroon is adamant and has never reacted to any of such allegations, many who feel short of state support are gnashing their teeth at detention room. Some not identified while others are unknown to the communities and to Cameroonians.
The president and head of state Paul Biya, issued a decree appointing the national coordinator for the reconstruction and development of the northwest and southwest region and budget signed. Yaoundé, 4 May 2020 – The Financing Agreement (FA) and the Project Document of the Presidential Plan for Reconstruction and Development for the North West (NW) and South West (SW) regions of Cameroon amounting to a total of 89 682 938 100,00 XAF ($151 896 849,87) for a period of two years, were signed on Tuesday, 5th of May, 2020 between the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Government of Cameroon . 04/11.2022,no106/CAB/PM furthered renewed this appointment to a new member of his cabinet to oversee and coordinate the activities of reconstructions in the two regions.
In the past two years human rights groups have reported of over 7,212 persons forced to flee their homes due to clashes and violence perpetrated against civilians. Attacks on educational institutions where over eight teachers were abducted and tortured for doing their job, over 20055 children suffered from acute malnutrition with over 885211 people in the regions in need of a dignified shelter and much more…….
Much of such news has been reported t in the past two weeks in the northwest and southwest regions, of hundreds homes raised down by state gendarmes. Village dueler continues to ponder as reported to the alternative media on government maneuvers over the presidential reconstruction and development plan. (A community development president exclaimed this- what a country with sick men toping the media and purporting lies for a country with over 75%b being youths, yet without employment nor job opportunity)
“As the funding of the PPRD-NW/SW falls under the prime responsibility of the Government of Cameroon, a sum of Eight Billion, Nine Hundred Million CFA France (8 900 000 000 XAF) accounting for about 10% of the overall budget is being raised by government as initial contribution into the program”, declared the Minister of Economy, Planning and Regional Development, Alamine Ousmane Mey.
The PPRD is a contribution to the National Development Plan (NDP) and was jointly developed by the Government of Cameroon (MINEPAT and MINFI) and UNDP. The aim of the plan is to address the immediate needs of the affected populations in the NW/SW regions. The goal is to: (i) restore social cohesion ;( ii) reconstruct and rehabilitate basic infrastructures; and (iii) revitalize the local economy. To ensure transparency in assisting the NW/SW regions, the Government designated UNDP as the Implementing Partner and Fund Manager of the PPRD. The present date reported statistic does not run coherently to the identified objective for reconstruction and development. Their effort to bring about social cohesion through transparency is in the hooks of political bigwigs under the banner of state agents.
The report reveal that -Over the past 18 months, the Presidential Plan for the Reconstruction and Development of the North-West and South-West Regions has rehabilitated 20 health centres which now attend to more than 5000 patients monthly, with19 water points, accessible to 170,000 people.
