Apparently, the Kumbo Water
Authority has pitched uneasy calm between the Paramount Fon of Nso and
the Mayor of Kumbo Council, Njong Donatus Fonyuy. An atmosphere of
uncertainty looms large in Kumbo as the population is confused over who
truly is managing the Kumbo Water Authority. Classified sources say a
new scheme created by the fon of Nso known as the Nso Community Water
will in the days ahead name a new management to takeover. Yet mayor
Njong's management team is ready to challenge the authority of the new
scheme. Allegations are rife at that the fon of Nso recently issued note
suspending the management of the Kumbo Water Authority and he is
expected to announce a new board soon. Notwithstanding, public opinion
in Kumbo holds that the late Prof. Bernard Folon brought them water. But
when SNEC ventured into controlling the scheme, the people mounted
pressure to take it back and that is how the then defunct Kumbo Urban
Council took over. Matters came to a head when the population started
questioning how the resources of the water scheme are managed. A school
of thought holds that the Kumbo Council merely managed water and has
never exploited water management as a source of revenue. Njong
detractors claim that contracts were awarded on party lines and that the
council has pocketed several millions. More so, a source hinted that
the Kumbo Water Authority is in court.
