Bamenda City Board in Session

The Bamenda City Council has adopted 3.623.563.235FCFA as its budget for 2015. This amount was adopted on Tuesday 23rd December 2014 during the city board budgetary session. Compared to the 2014 budget, 2015 witnessed an increase of 167.243.235FCA.
In his budget memorandum, the Government Delegate observed that the 2015 budget “has been drawn under difficult conditions. Mr Ndumu Vincent Nji cited the scarcity of revenue sources, increase in fuel prices, and the 5% salary increase of staff amongst others as the conditions.
The budget which gives the Bamenda City Council a possibility to invest 1.772.344.000FCFA representing 48.91% in 2015, will only be realized if everyone works “in view of ensuring Revenue Collection and improving the living conditions of our population” Ndumu said.
Under the supervision of Mr Nguelle Nguele Felix Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam, the city board members fondly called Grand Councilors ended the session with visible signs of contributing their quota to the development of Bamenda.
Though with a 14point memorandum addressed to the SDO and the refusal to vote some proposed deliberations by the Government Delegate, Hon Fobi Nchinda Member of Parliament for Bamenda-Bali agued saying that all of these is because of the Love the Grand Councilors have for Bamenda.
