The population of Bamenda in the restive Anglophone North West Region of Cameroon where armed men are fighting to create a country they called Ambazonia have celebrated the sacking of head of the Presidential Plan for the Development and Reconstruction PPRD of the two restive regions, Paul Tasong.
The decision to replace him with Motuba Tamajong was made taken by Prime Minister Dion Ngute, 4 November 2022.
One of those who received the news of the sacking of Paul Tasong is Nde Walters who says:
“This man insulted us last time when he said if we want to see the tarring of the ring road, we should first of all stand like one man and say no to insecurity. He failed to tell us whether insecurity can also be blamed for a project that was announced in the 80’s” says Nde.
Such people, he adds, “… talk to please their God, Paul Biya. Thanks to almighty God, he has been dropped,” say Nde.
Never right man for position
To Anwi, a die-hard supporter of the Social Democratic Front, SDF political party, Paul Tasong was never the right person for that position:
“How can you bring in someone who has the mentality that it is development that is a path way to peace and not peace being a pathway to developement? He failed on the day he was appointed. They always want to bring in politics everywhere. The Gardian Post Newspaper in one of its headlines said Dion Ngute disagreed with Tasong on the impact of the Anglophone crisis on the Tea Sector, an indication that he was never fit for the job.”
There are those who still believe that the Presidential Plan for the Development and Reconstruction (PPRD) of the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon will not get it’s desired goals because the war is ongoing and beneficiaries to the project continue to die on a daily basis.
PPRD
It should be noted that the PPRD saw the light of day some years back to develop the war ravaged Anglophone regions of Cameroon where lives and properties have been damaged as a result of the ongoing Anglophone crisis.
Many say they are yet to feel the impact because the crisis keeps worsening and changing levels as the days go by.
