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

What You Need to Know About HRH Fon Njofor  Maurice , President of DOMAFU 

HRH Fon Njofor  Maurice Ndi Ngiri 2, President of DOMAFU is the ruler of Chup village and a veritable leader per excellence. It was G.K Chesterson, the  great scholar who once wrote that each time the world was in trouble the demand went up for practical men. HRH Fon  Njofor  Maurice is a practical man at the helm of Donga Mantung Fons Union. After a careful assessment of the potentials of those who passed round as leaders in those challenging times, Gardner was forced to come up with what he considered qualities of a good leader. In doing this, he had no bias or no particular individual in mind. His postulations on a good leader corresponded with what yet another greater leader of all times, Martin Luther King said. HRH Fon Maurice Njofor Nfor is a senior tax inspector. He is a graduate from the National Sc0hool of Adminidtration and Magistracy, ENAM. Cycle A .With a maitrise public law and a Master2 in Business Administration from UD.Therefore, falls within the ranks of  Martin Luther's description of leadership. “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus”. Martin Luther King was simply overwhelmed by the quality of leaders around him and.saw in most leaders the individuals who rather than mold consensus in times of conflict went searching for consensus. His worries soon found expression in Dan Marino Sr’s reflections that “Leadership, I think you must have that, particularly when a team’s on the field, they look to you. In critical situations, they look into your eyes to see if you’re there. If you’re not there, they start quitting”. Most of our leaders have fallen into this category. Our societies, talk less of Donga Mantung Division has had such leadership. They have functioned as if leadership was a technical or an intellectual exercise where one plus one was three, as the Nigerian singers put fondly.  Donga Mantung Division, has had its fair share of such leadership which had the zeal to build society but handicapped by the fact that they fight among themselves and allow the stranger to reap the harvest. Donga Mantung fons, it has been said, have had everything that an association worth its name has, yet all these opportunities have been thwarted by in-fighting. HRH Fon Maurice Njofor Nfor has brought hope and is expected to put to use his leadership and rich education background
