The Ministry of Arts and Culture headed by Mafor Ama Tutu Muna is one of the ministries in Cameroon
where women have been given the opportunity to put into practice their contribution to nation building. As Minister, Ama Tutu Muna has shown that women also have the knack to innovative ideas. Ever since this daughter of the great statesman, late Solomon Tandeng Muna became the Minister of Arts and Culture, the ever first woman to lead that Ministry, she has become a symbol of the Anglophone woman in Cameroon. Upon her appointment Ama Tutu has not only dismantled the male barriers constructed round that Ministry but has more importantly handed some key positions to women. Another key innovation has been the transfer of authority from the tortuous and rugged CMC to SOCAM. Since her appointment, Ama Tutu Muna had helped a great deal in transforming President Biya’s policy of greater ambitions to greater achievements and now realizations. Even though a cabinet minister, Ama Tutu remains approachable. She talks and acts with untiring sociability with the staff of the ministry.

Yet, it is this quality which immensely complements her multifarious roles. That she now occupies that seat of culture Minister is not fortuitous. Before her appointment as Minister of Arts and Culture, she had already learned to cope with the cultural demands of such positions. Hard work and efficiency have continued to be the qualities that define her. When you call at her office, you are taken to a waiting room where you need to be patient as she is on an important or some of those critical files that demands a lot of concentration. Take it as arrogance and you are right for this is positive arrogance that enables that job for which she was appointed to be done effectively. It is this positive arrogance that always determines the quality of ideas and projects that comes out of that ministry and which tells you that she is not a woman who takes task lightly.
Notwithstanding, she has the drive and dedication that defies any facile explanations. Born into a politician’s family, Mafor Ama Tutu Muna was brought up in close knit family where as the only girl she was never allowed to idle while others work. In later life she could not escape to be a workaholic or become a politician par excellence reasons why she formed the Abi Fall Sub Section of the CPDM and is continuing from where the father left with a lot of dexterity. Mafor Ama Tutu is also on record to have initiated the Mbengwi Women Cooperative to combat the plight of the rural woman and besides, she is also the brain behind the creation North West Women’s Forum-NOWEF. Seemingly she has just started her career as a politician.

Here we go again, with another praise singer. What exactly did she do before the appointment and what has she done since the appointment This is another empty post by a sycophant who writes and praises a person on the strength of their empty celebrity. This is complete rubbish. Nothing in this post tells anyone anything about the woman, apart from the "secret de polichinelle" An Open Secret - which is that she is the daughter of a late ST Muna. What about her education? Her family circumstances? Her public work and maybe her private activities? What about her achievements? This is a rubbish post, devoid of any information or value.
Absolute nonsense. What's extra ordinary about her and which extra abilities does she have. Cheap publicity common with whores like her
