State budget for 2020: Call for complete execution of priority actions.

The slow-paced execution and near-abandonment of projects at the grass roots has led to unbalanced development in Cameroon. It is in this connection that House Speaker, Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, used the closing of Parliament last Wednesday to call for the complete execution of the projects and in time. A total of eight bills were adopted during the session. He expressed delight at the innovations contained in the draft finance law for 2020, stating that the innovations “are a demonstration of government’s strong will to encourage local production and consumption, as well as improve on the living conditions of our people.” He saluted announced first measures for Universal Health Coverage and awaited creation of 550 000 jobs. Priority actions include continuing with the execution of major anchor projects, process of decentralization, consolidation of the operationalization of the National Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration Committee (NDDRC), preparing CHAN 2020 and Total AFCON 2021.

 Hon. Cavaye Yeguie Djibril decried the poor execution of infrastructure projects, especially roads, pointing a finger at controllers who are guilty of felony. He called on the competent hierarchy to punish the multiple acts of corruption gaining ground in this sector.

Cavaye urged, “the maintenance of infrastructure and equipment, especially in hospitals, schools and other training centres, should be among the priorities.” The House Speaker used the occasion to remind “some misguided persons that in Cameroon power is conquered at all levels through the ballot box and not on the streets”. He invited Cameroonians who go rioting in foreign territory against the country to come back to Cameroon to talk issues of the country not roam streets abroad.

Describing the work of MPs during the ninth legislative period, Hon. Caveye Yeguie Djibril said they fought a good fight. “The fight for the development and prosperity of Cameroon, for the preservation of peace, stability and territorial integrity. In a  nutshell, the fight for a better Cameroon that we all cherish.” He congratulated those whose parties have been maintained and wished all of them good luck. He called on voters to go to the polls on February 9, 2020 to choose with all their heart and conscience, in calm and discipline, their MPs as well as their municipal councilors.

The closing plenary sitting ended with the award of medals. The House Speaker in the name of the Head of State, Paul Biya pinned medals on nine MPs and seven staff.
