The First Vice National President
of the CPDM party, Fon Angwafor III of Mankon and a host of North West CPDM
militants who suffered from the destruction of their properties in 1992 by
opposition militants will at last be compensated.
The good news
was disclosed by the Director of cabinet at the Prime Minister’s office, Paul
Ghogomu, in Bamenda during the North West launching of the CPDM mobilization of
its militants towards the massive registration of militants ahead of the
upcoming twin election (parliamentary and municipal) on Saturday, November 2,
2012.
Before some of
the 1992 CPDM victims of 1992 political violence in the North West Region like
Fon Angwafor III of Mankon whose houses were burnt in Bamenda, Paul Ghogomu
said the Head of State has expressed his total sympathy to the victims and has
ipso facto, allocated FCFA 2 billion for the compensation of the victims which
will be made available as son as possible.
The disclosure
of the good message from Paul Biya was provoked by former Minister of Special
Duties at the Presidency cum the CPDM section president for Tubah, Peter Abety.
He reminded the Prime Minister’s representative at the meeting, Paul Ghogomu,
that 400 CPDM militants of the North West Region who suffered brutality and
their property destroyed in 1992, were not happy to raise any money for the
party because the compensation they expected from the government never came.
On the
mobilization of the massive registration of CPDM militants in the voter’s
registers which is already ongoing, Ghogomu added that the North West CPDM
elite in Yaounde under the Prime Minister,
Philemon Yang, have disbursed a total of FCFA 34 million to assist the CPDM
executives of all the sections in the North
West. He explained that a million FCFA would be given
to section presidents each to assist their teams to ensure that the militants
register massively.
Following the
publication of the CPDM Secretary General’s circular of October 3, 2012
relating to the participation of the CPDM in the compilation of voter
registration, the North West CPDM chairman of strategy committee, Hon Nji
Fidelis Muh-Ziah, corrected that “the recompilation of voter registration is in
keeping with the electoral code and follows the guidelines of President Paul
Biya, Head of State and national chairman of the CPDM party”. He said although
registration of voters is conducted by ELECAM, the CPDM party will support the
recompilation process by encouraging as many Cameroonians of voting age as
possible especially CPDM electors to register and to eventually vote on election
day.
According to
Hon Nji Fidelis the CPDM party has created 2 committees to work in the field
for the mobilization of potential voters to register like the supervision and
support committees.
On the
practical guide lines for the massive registration of militants and supporters
of the CPDM in the North West Region, Hon Fidelis emphasized the importance of
the present voter registration exercise noting that, “all upcoming and future
elections shall be won or lost depending on the diligence (commitment and
effort) with which we tackle this assignment” since recompilation is from
scratch.
After the
November 2, 2012 launching, the divisional CPDM leaders were dispatched to do
same in their respective divisions of the North West Region beginning from
Ngoketunjia on Sunday, November 3, 2012 whose team leader is Paul Ghogomu.
The launching
was chaired by the First Vice National President of the CPDM party, Fon
Angwafor III of Mankon.
