Feko reminded the audience that the Social Democratic Front, SDF was founded to fight for the liberation of Southern Cameroons. The founding fathers of the SDF had set the liberation of Southern Cameroons as their main objective. He regretted that the leadership of the party seems to have forgotten their main goal.

Mola Njoh Litumbe mounted the rostrum to reiterate that there was no unification treaty between Southern Cameroons and la République du Cameroun, LRC. He said LRC was occupying Southern Cameroons illegally. He urged LRC to respect the wishes of the United Nations, which had intended that Cameroon be a federation like that of the island of Zanzibar and Tanzania, with power rotating between both sides.

The Fon of Kom, the only brother to Na Foyn had ostensibly arranged for the installation of his nephew, Clement Ndi, and duly informed the administration and instructed the Kwifon, the highest traditional authority in Kom to proceed with the installation ceremony. Na Foyn had objected to the move.

Foreseeing chaos the Divisional Officer of Bbelo Sub Division, Mr Enwotue Patrick Pelopuh addressed a letter Ref No. E32.02/04/181/2008 of 14/03/2008 to HRH the Fon of Kom in reply to his correspondence on the installation.

The population of Fiango in Kumba, going by the admistrative appellation of Kumba II will have to cooprate with their pioneer Mayor, Asapngu Ferdinand to realize the 2008 budget for that Local Government Area. The session to deliberate and adopt this budget held in Kumba last January 9, 2008 under the chairmanship of the Mayor Asapngu, in the presence of the Supervisory Authority of the Division, Mr Abath Zangwala Magloire.

Welcoming the councilors and the SDO, Mr Asapngu Ferdinand called on his colleagues to join hands with him to realize the budget so as to bring tangible change in the area, as well as improve on the standard of living of the citizens of the municipality.

Mr Asapngu added that 51.6 % of the 350m frs budget will be dedicated to investment, ie extension and maintenance of road network, organizing a modern motor park, constructing a veritable slaughter house, extending electricity and water to all the neighbourhood of the council area, and above all putting up a permanent structure for the council.

On his part, the SDO called on the Council authorities to desist from using “vanguards” whom he referred to as thugs, in collecting taxes. He advised the mayor to either sign out the exercise of revenue collections to contractors or get legitimate council workers to do the job. Concluding, the SDO called on the Kumba II Council to recruit four watchmen, two for the day and two for the night.
