Transformer Installation in Buea Sparks Political Tensions

The installation of three-phase transformers in several neighborhoods of Buea has stirred up a political storm, with local leaders competing for credit in the initiative.

Politicians are jostling to position themselves as the driving force behind this development, sparking a wave of public debate.

Honorable Malomba Esembe, Member of Parliament for the Buea Urban Constituency, made his presence known at installation sites in Governor’s Street, Bokwoango, Wonya Emongo, and Bomaka.

He highlighted his role in lobbying for the transformers, presenting documents to substantiate his efforts.

However, critics argue that the MP is politicizing the installations by ENEO, the electricity management company in Cameroon.

Some community members, many of whom remain anonymous and voice their concerns through WhatsApp and Telegram, claim they contributed financially to the project and contend that the MP should not brand the installation as a personal achievement.

Hon Malomba is vying for the Chieftaincy stool at Bokwoaongo and some observers believe his push for electricity in the village and other areas aims to position himself as a competent community leader.

His main opponent for the Chieftaincy struggle is CRTV political journalist Albert Njie Mbonde, who donated a generator to the Bokwoaongo health center while the community was still in blackout.

It’s clear the transformer installation at Bokwoaongo and Wonya Emongo has taken on a life beyond its original intent, becoming a new paradigm in the political narrative of Buea.

Many neighborhoods in Buea have faced lengthy blackouts this year, some lasting more than seven months.

Neighborhoods like Bokwoaongo, Muea, Limbe Quarter and Mile 16 have faced persistent blackouts that have hampered small businesses and slowed other economic activities.

The response from authorities has been timid and while Bokwoaongo and Limbe Quarter have regained power, Muea remains in blackout for more than seven months now.
