The budget for Nkambe
Council for the year 2013 stands at 609,551,000
FCFA. The budget was adopted in a budgetary session that held at the Nkambe
Community hall last Saturday Nov. 17th 2012.
Talking to
participants at the start of the session, the Mayor of Nkambe Council Mangoh
Jones Tanko thanked all present and called on his fellow Councilors to
demonstrate a high sense of maturity in examining the 2013 draft budget. The
Mayor also noted the fact that they are in a bonus period of their mandate and
as such must put hands on deck to realize set objectives.
After
deliberations, councilors finally adopted a total sum of 609.551.000FCFA for
2013. The budget however has dropped compared to 884,504,984FCFA adopted last
year. The Mayor however explained that the drop is due to the fact that in 2011
some 270million FCFA was budgeted for the construction of “The Town Hall. “This
was suppose to come into account so that there is no need for it to appear in
the 2013 budget.
At the end of
the session, Mayor Manyoh expressed satisfaction with the budget which he
describes as realistic. He equally sounded optimistic as concerns the
government of Cameroon from whom he has received certificates freeing the Nkambe
Council from some debts. The Mayor however lamented the fact that the former
S.D.O for Donga Mantung Nzeki Theophile before going on transfer had sold a
parcel of land that belonged to the Nkambe council. At the same time, he swore
that in the days ahead he will be meeting the S.D.O, Ngone Ndodemesape Bernard
whom he describes as level – headed to seek ways of getting back the said piece
of land.
The S.D. O. for
Donga Mantung in his capacity as supervisory authority commented the spirit in
which the deliberations were conducted and called on councilors present to
continue to sensitize and educate the population while at the same time
cultivate in them the spirit of patriotism. He also used the opportunity to
call on councilors to do everything in their respective spheres to encourage
their populations to register massively on the biometric voters list.
