Simon Tamfu Donates to Commercial Motorbike Riders

 

The high quality helmets were distributed to commercial motorbike riders in the entire Ndu  sub Division on Sunday April 23, 2023 by the Mayor of Ndu Council, Abdou Borno Kanfon.

Before handing over the helmets to the beneficiaries, Abdou Borno Kanfon indicated that the gesture was from an apolitical elite of Ndu Subdivision who is only concern with matters of development. It is worth mentioning that Simon Tamfu Fai has been doing a lot for the Subdivision and will continue to do so. Some years back, he constructed a block at the Ndu District hospital.  This symbolic gesture, the Mayor said, is a reminder from this illustrious elite that he thinks about the commercial motorbike riders, cares about their safety and might be coming in again to touch their lives in other ways in subsequent time.

The  Mayor reminded the beneficiaries that although the quality helmets have as prime objective to protect the head in case of an accident, the best protection is in the mind when each rider is conscious enough to guard against excessive speed.

Through guidance from the Lord Mayor, beneficiaries were selected from villages and quarters around the municipalities to ensure proper representativeness. 

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, the overall *"Achaba" President for Ndu Subdivision* thanked the donor immensely together with his team and unanimously wished the cheerful giver, Mr. Simon Tamfu God's abundant blessings. He promised total collaboration of the Achaba Union with the Ndu Council by ensuring the prompt payment of impôt liberatoir, accompanying the  Mayor and the Council in all her endeavours and drumming up street support for the Mayor thanks to the marvellous works the Council under his stewardship has been able to realize for the community within a short while. These promises earned the support of his team through a thunderous applause.

The commercial motorbike riders of Ndu through their leader said they've heard a lot about the man with a heart of gold, Mr. Simon Tamfu and will love to have an opportunity to communion with him. They said they will love to include him to the list of providers anytime, any day with his approval; a request, the Mayor promised to channel to their charitable donor.

It was another great day at the Ndu Council premises this beautiful Sunday afternoon and the reassuring words from the commercial motorbike riders of Ndu thanks to this timely gesture from Pa Simon Tamfu was an indication that the sounds and rhythm of the New Team is resonating with the population in ways we cannot imagine.

Hon Agho Oliver Tables African Trade IssuesTo Bretton Woods Institution

Source: The Reporter Newspaper 

Hon. Agho Oliver Bamenju, MP for Bafut-Tubah Constituency in the North West Region of Cameroon has taken to task the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund on the plight of deteriorating African trade with the rest of the world.

He made Cameroon's voice as well as that of Africa heard during the 2023 Global Parliamentary Forum that recently held in Washington DC from April 10 through April 11, 2023.

The young Cameroonian Member of Parliament was one of the privileged 200 MPs selected worldwide to attend the 2023 Global Paliamentary Forum organized by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank and IMF in Washington DC. 

Hon Agho Oliver sounded Africa's voice during the forum which is the first in-person since the outbreak of COVID-19.

Hon Agho Oliver's question was one of those that caught the attention of the president of the World Bank Group.

The young Cameroonian MP argued insisted that if trade issues between Aftica and she entire world are properly fixed, most Africans will benefit. He used the example of his constituency that is near Bamenda as an example to benefit enormously if trade was fluid between Cameroon and Nigeria through the Ekok road.

 Hon. Agho Oliver during the exclusive Parliamentary Townhall with World Bank President, David Malpass and IMF Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva wanted to know from the two giant Bretton Woods institutions what they were doing concretely to help the Africa Continental Free Trade Area, given that presently intra-African trade stands at meagre 18%? 

Hon Agho Oliver's worries could be easily understood by Cameroonians given that Cameroon is one of  the first six African countries that have been selected to lead the trial phase of the African Continental Free Trade Area, AfCFTA. 

It is worthy to note here that the African Continental Free Trade Area seeks to ensure the unrestricted movement of goods and services in the continent.

Hon. Agho Oliver considered by many as a very proactive Member of Parliament has never missed any opportunity to bargain for his constituents, his country and the African continent whenever he attends an International confab.

 The Washington DC meeting permitted him to join other  legislators from around the world and leadership from the World Bank and IMF to brainstorm and chart news ways to tackle  crucial development challenges facing the world. Discussions during the forum were pivoted on the theme “Tough Challenges, Tougher Choices.” 

Greater attention was placed on the multiple crisis facing the earth and humanity, including climate change, insecurity, governance, accountability, growth, debt, gender and cross-border migration. 

Hon Agho during his stay in Washington DC also attended the Global Young MP Initiative opened only to  parliamentarians aged 40 and under to explore innovative approaches to environmental and social policies to foster sustainable societies

Minister Fuh Calistus Bans Production, Sales of Sachet Whiskies

The Minister of Mines, Industries and Technological Development Prof. Fuh Calistus Gentry has slammed a ban on the production and commercialization of sachet whiskies in Cameroon. According to the ministerial decision the commercialization of sachet whiskies in plastics below 50microns is prohibited. 

It should be noted that the decision had elapsed as far back as September 2016 for production and sale of whiskies in sachets and canisters will be prohibited in Cameroon. Such is the consequence of a government decision dating back to 12 September 2014, which enforced the application of the standard on the production of liqueurs and others spirits in Cameroon. Actually, this standard excluded from the market products in sachets and packaged in canisters, since it only provides for packaging in glass containers which can be stamped. The government's decision then included a moratorium of 24 months (which expires on 12 September 2016), in order to enable the distillers sell their old stocks and ensure their production tool comply with the new standard.

The production of affordable whiskies in sachets (FCfa 100) was well received in Cameroon, since it opened to many the consumption of a product until now reserved to those who had the means to afford it. But, very quickly, the consumption of these products became a real social scourge, a danger to the population's health. Local news in the country during the past years revealed the dramas which occurred following the consumption of these beverages. The most serious threat is that it litters everywhere. Community hotspots are being invaded by sachets, streets, water sources etc are suffocating. Sachets have become a big hazard and polluting agents. Millions of tons are imported from neighbouring countries and from China, Europe and America. More than 90% end up in landfills causing both land, air and water pollution. 

Environmental advocates have saluted the courageous decision by Prof. Fuh Calistus Gentry to ban the production and sales of whiskies in sachets. The decision public opinion holds will.go a long way to reduce plastic pollution. Global Landscapes Forum, GLFx Nkambe has saluted the minister's courageous decision to slam a ban on the phenomenon of sachet whiskies. GLFx project coordinator Ekoaba Cevie said plastic pollution has reached crisis level and the minister's ban is highly appreciated
