The President of the republic Paul Biya has reshuffled
his Cabinet. The news fell like a bomb shell Friday March 2, exceptionally during the 8pm news
on the state radio unlike the 5pm news tradition.
The presidential degree creates some new ministries
amongst them The Ministry of Territorial
Administration and the Ministry of Decentralization
and Local Development with Paul Atanga Nji appointed pioneer Minister of Territorial
Administration. These Ministries were hitherto merged as a single Ministry with one Minsiter at the helm managing both interior, local governance and local development matters. Transferred to Missions at the Presidency of the Republic, Rene Sadii had headed the Ministry for over seven years.
Some Close allies of the President like the former Minsiter of Transport Edgar Alian Mebe Ngo, former Director of Civil Cabinet Belinga Ebotu, former Minister of Water and Energy Basil Atanga Kuna and others.
Masena Ngalle Bibehe who served as Secondary Education Minister now moves to Transport to replace a strong Biya ally Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo who goes out of government. Nalova Lyonga immediate past Vice Chancellor of the University of Buea steps in to head the education Minsitry. She will work together with her former boss Jacque Fame Ndongo who is maintained as Minister of Higher Education.
Other Minsiters have simply been moved from one to another like former Finance Minister now Minster of Planning Economy and Regional Development and Vice Vicer for Louis Paul Motaze.
Others like Issa Tchiroma of Communication, Laurent Esso of Justice, Bidoung Ismail of Sports, Therese Abena of Women Empowerment etc have been maintained.
