Camions Ă problĂšmes, la cote dâalerte
Les gros porteurs sĂšment Ă nouveau insĂ©curitĂ© et gĂȘnent sur la voie publique Ă Douala.
Bilan macabre que celui des gros porteurs sur les routes de Douala au cours du mois de janvier qui vient de sâachever. Quatre morts et plusieurs blessĂ©s dans la nuit du 27 au 28 dans la zone de « Village », au cours dâun accident dont le scĂ©nario ferait penser au film « Destination finale ». Une cargaison mal arrimĂ©e, des piĂšces de bois dĂ©bitĂ© qui se dĂ©tachent et Ă©crasent purement et simplement quelques piĂ©tons alentour. Une dizaine de jours plus tĂŽt, un autre gros porteur a fait trois morts au quartier Yassa de façon tout aussi choquante : Ă©tant visiblement hors contrĂŽle, le camion a percutĂ© un petit car, qui lui est allĂ© « balayer » trois personnes.
« Depuis le dĂ©but de lâannĂ©e ils font mal ! », relĂšve, mi-dĂ©pitĂ©, mi-effrayĂ©, Serge Roland Hanko, chauffeur de taxi dans la capitale Ă©conomique. Il se rappelle, comme beaucoup dans la ville, de drames similaires survenus lâannĂ©e derniĂšre. Notamment de ce container tombĂ© sur un pick-up (au quartier Logpom) quâil a Ă©crasĂ©, le couple qui Ă©tait Ă bord compris. Dâautres exemples sanglants ont meublĂ© la chronique des faits divers en leur temps⊠De lĂ Ă penser que la menace est permanente, il nây a quâun pas que nombre de citadins franchissent. Surtout quand sur des axes comme Camp Yabassi-Mboppi, ou au carrefour Ndokoti, de gros porteurs passent rĂ©guliĂšrement, cĂŽtoyant des motos-taximen peu rĂ©putĂ©s pour leur prudence, ou des piĂ©tons vulnĂ©rables Ă souhait.
En dehors des accidents, les gros porteurs sâillustrent aussi dans les pannes, sources de bouchons dans une ville de Douala qui nâen a vraiment pas besoin, elle qui est en plein chantier. La menace des sabots posĂ©s par les autoritĂ©s municipales ne semble pas persuader les propriĂ©taires de camions de veiller Ă leur bon Ă©tat. De fait, alors quâil Ă©tait conduit au Gmi, le camion dont une partie de la cargaison a fait des morts à « Village » est⊠tombĂ© en panne Ă lâentrĂ©e de cette unitĂ© ! Encombrant une des voies qui conduit Ă lâespace portuaire.
Samedi dernier, en route sur la sortie Est de la ville, la jeune BĂ©atrice D., diplĂŽmĂ©e de management, ne savait plus oĂč se mettre en raison des pertes de temps dues Ă des pannes de camion. Deux consĂ©cutives sur son trajet, assure-t-elle. « Un camion-plateau Ă©tait en panne au niveau de « Village ». Nous sommes restĂ©s plus dâune heure dans ce bouchon : il Ă©tait garĂ© en pleine voie, alors quâĂ ce niveau, en raison des travaux, la route nâest pas libĂ©rĂ©e sur toute sa largeur », explique la dame. AprĂšs cette Ă©preuve de patience, une autre les attendait, sous la forme dâun grumier immobilisĂ© sur le « Pont noir ». Au passage, il avait froissĂ© un taxi qui gisait lĂ , meublant le dĂ©cor.
Les autoritĂ©s locales, qui reconnaissent quâil y a un rĂ©el souci, annoncent de nouvelles dispositions, Ă la mesure du problĂšme. Voyons ça.

L'investissement public 2015: Exécuté à environ 88%
Câest ce qui ressort du rapport du ComitĂ© national de suivi de lâexĂ©cution physico-financiĂšre tenu hier Ă YaoundĂ©. Les premiĂšres estimations de la situation de lâexĂ©cution du Budget dâinvestissement public (BIP) 2015 sont disponibles. Au niveau central, elle affiche un taux de 87,73%. Dans les 10 rĂ©gions, le taux de rĂ©alisation physique est dâen moyenne 77%, avec un pic de 94,85% dans le Nord-Ouest et un nivellement de 43,08% dans le Littoral. Des chiffres rendus publics hier Ă YaoundĂ©, au cours de la tenue de la deuxiĂšme session du ComitĂ© national de suivi de lâexĂ©cution physico-financiĂšre de lâinvestissement public. Des travaux conduits par lâhonorable Rosette Ayayi, prĂ©sidente dudit comitĂ©. Elle rappelle que la mission de ce comitĂ©, créé en 2013 est de « promouvoir le principe de transparence, Ă travers une approche participative du suivi de la gestion de lâinvestissement public », et traduire dans les faits les rĂ©formes des finances publiques en cours. Câest ainsi que durant les travaux dâhier, les participants (Ă©lus locaux et rĂ©gionaux), ont relevĂ© des prĂ©occupations devenues habituelles : le problĂšme du moins disant dans lâattribution des marchĂ©s, qui favorise la sĂ©lection dâaventuriers. Vient ensuite le problĂšme de maturation des projets, lâengorgement de certaines commissions rĂ©gionales de passation des marchĂ©s, la mauvaise gestion des dĂ©comptes, le manque dâinformation et de capacitĂ© technique sur les rĂ©formes engagĂ©es par le pays.
Selon Rosette Ayayi, « le rĂŽle du comitĂ© est de recueillir toutes ces difficultĂ©s qui se posent Ă lâexĂ©cution du BIP et les soumettre aux autoritĂ©s compĂ©tentes qui devront voir quelles solutions apporter ». Mais dĂ©jĂ , elle estime quâavec le niveau du suivi des recommandations, « certaines portent dĂ©jĂ des fruits. Il ne faut pas sâattendre Ă un succĂšs total dĂšs la 2e ou la 3e session. Câest une Ćuvre de longue haleine et nous croyons quâavec la rĂ©gularitĂ© des travaux du comitĂ©, nous allons arriver Ă nos fins ».
Mais dĂ©jĂ , pour amĂ©liorer lâexĂ©cution du budget dâinvestissement public 2016, des mesures ont dâores et dĂ©jĂ Ă©tĂ© prises par le gouvernement. A lâinitiative du ministĂšre de lâEconomie, de la Planification et de lâAmĂ©nagement du territoire (MINEPAT), il est dĂ©fini que le rythme de suivi de lâexĂ©cution du BIP soit dĂ©sormais mensuel, aussi bien dans les services centraux que dĂ©concentrĂ©s. En termes dâanticipation pour la bonne exĂ©cution du BIP, le journal des projets est disponible sur le site web et dans les services dĂ©concentrĂ©s du MINEPAT depuis le 24 dĂ©cembre 2015. Un guide explicatif des procĂ©dures de lâexĂ©cution du BIP a Ă©tĂ© imprimĂ©, entres autres.

Présidentielle 2018: Les appels à la candidature font débat
Pendant quâau RDPC, les militants demandent au prĂ©sident Paul Biya de se reprĂ©senter, certains adversaires sâopposent Ă cette initiative, alors que dâautres se disent prĂȘts Ă aller Ă la compĂ©tition.
Câest la grande actualitĂ© politique du moment. Depuis plusieurs semaines, en effet, les appels Ă la candidature du prĂ©sident Paul Biya dans le cadre de lâĂ©lection prĂ©sidentielle prĂ©vue en 2018 agitent la scĂšne politique et mĂ©diatique nationale, Ă lâinitiative des militantes et militants du Rassemblement dĂ©mocratique du peuple camerounais (RDPC), le parti au pouvoir. A ces appels contenus dans les motions de soutien qui se multiplient, se sont jointes, ces derniers jours, dâautres motions invitant en outre Ă lâorganisation anticipĂ©e de lâĂ©lection prĂ©sidentielle de 2018. Jeudi dernier, pour la premiĂšre fois, un haut responsable du RDPC sâest exprimĂ© sur ces questions (voir interview). Il sâagit du Pr Jacques Fame Ndongo, secrĂ©taire Ă la Communication au ComitĂ© central du RDPC. Sans dĂ©tours, il rĂ©affirme et dĂ©fend Ă force dâarguments les choix de ses camarades du parti. Puis, dĂ©crypte la signification des appels et invite les adversaires du RDPC Ă dĂ©voiler leurs jeux.
A ce propos justement, les adversaires du parti au pouvoir ont commencĂ© la semaine derniĂšre Ă faire connaĂźtre leurs positions par rapport Ă ce quâils qualifient de « manĆuvres du RDPC ». Du cĂŽtĂ© du Mouvement africain pour la nouvelle indĂ©pendance et la dĂ©mocratie (MANIDEM), on ne lâentend pas de cette oreille. Ce parti de lâopposition, dont le siĂšge est Ă Douala, se dit en effet, opposĂ© Ă ce que le chef de lâEtat Paul Biya se reprĂ©sente Ă la prochaine Ă©lection prĂ©sidentielle. Les signataires du courrier lui demandent en outre de ne point cĂ©der aux sirĂšnes de ceux qui lâencouragent Ă se porter candidat.
En ce qui concerne le Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun (MRC), le Pr Maurice Kamto, le prĂ©sident national de cette jeune formation politique de lâopposition, se dit partant. « Nous irons aux Ă©lections, quel que soit lâendroit, quel que soit le lieu et quel que soit le temps », a-t-il dĂ©clarĂ© aux confrĂšres le 4 fĂ©vrier 2016 Ă Douala, lors du lancement dâune campagne nationale pour la signature dâune pĂ©tition « adressĂ©e Ă tous les Camerounais, sans considĂ©ration des chapelles politiques, Ă©pris de paix et de justice ; Ă toutes celles et tous ceux qui veulent que la dĂ©signation des dirigeants de notre pays passe par des Ă©lections libres, transparentes, sans achat des consciences, sans bourrage des urnes, dĂ©barrassĂ©es de fraudes, afin que seule triomphe la volontĂ© du peuple ». Nul doute que le dĂ©bat va sâanimer davantage, compte tenu des passions quâil soulĂšve et du nombre Ă©levĂ© de partis politiques lĂ©galement constituĂ©s.

11th February:Douala Youths in the Feast
Kickoff for weeklong activities was given in Bonaberi on Febraury 4,2016.
Scores of secondary and primary schools in the Douala IV municipally thrilled authorities and the population of Bonaberi with Kung Fu and traditional dances during the launch of the 50th Youth Day activities by the Regionâs Secretary General at the esplanade of the Divisional Officerâs Office in Bonaberi yesterday. âAmbass bey,â a dance from the Sawa area by pupils of EPL Primary School Bonaberi, left no one indifferent while the Njang dance from the North West by the CEGET College in Bonaberi made even Ewondo natives present, to dance to the melody from the schoolâs traditional drums. Other activities like choral singing by the Presbyterian Secondary School and Mother Theresa College created a centre of attention and exerted thunderous applauses from the watching-crowd. A poem on patriotism by a student from the Government Bilingual High School Bonaberi and a humour from a student in Government Bilingual High School Mambanda discouraged deviant behaviour by students and called on all and sundry to denounce any suspicious act that might led to the downfall of the Islamic Sect that is terrorising the country. An exhibition on motor mechanic, dyeing, sawing, electricity, and production of national juice by students was equally amazing.
On the field to launch the weeklong activities of the 50th Youth Day on the theme: âYouth, Citizenship and the Fight against Insecurity for the Advent of an Emergent Cameroon,â was the Littoralâs Secretary General, Ludovic Ngbwa who gave a handful of advice to the over 1,000 youths present. He did not mince words when he told the youths to stay away from the consumption of drugs which is the root of all evil. In the presence of the Cameroonian born Triple Jump medallist, François Mbango, he paid tribute to soldiers at the battle ground and enjoined youths to inculcate patriotic spirit in order to defend their fatherland against the Sect.

Youth Employment:Promising Sectors Under Scanner
Officials of the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training are meeting in Yaounde for their annual conference.
Vocational training is the foundation for every meaningful development and copying the good side of policies for a change in society and most especially for a better number of Cameroonâs employment performance is nothing bad, says the Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, MINEFOP, Zacharie Perevet. The Minister has vowed to transform Cameroonâs vocational training and employment sector to what holds in a partner country, South Korea where vocational training takes pride of place in the countryâs growth drive. Chairing the opening ceremony of the annual conference of MINEFOP in Yaounde yesterday February 4, 2016, Minister Perevet stated that his management was committed to tapping from Korea to enhance its human resources.
Staff of the Ministry will on the theme ; « Vocational Training and Growth and Employment Promising Sectors » seek to harmonise policies and strategies that can scale up employment figures, explained Comfort Ngu Fomede, Technical Adviser N° 1. She said the Ministry was working towards directing all vocational training programmes towards the needs of the job market. Promising sectors like esthetics, wood work, industrial plumbing, electricity, automation, Information and Communication Technologies, hotel managemnt and tourism have been cited amongst the good employment specialities. She stated that the three advanced vocational training centres in Douala, Limbe and Sangmelima constructed and equipped with the support of the Korean government will train trainers and job seekers in many specialities that fall within promising sectors. The Ministry will in 2016 facilitate and promote job creation through the operationalisation of the centres. Specialities were identified in collaboration with enterprises employing job seekers, it was disclosed.
The Minister stressed that any vocational training centre to go operational in Cameroon must henceforth answer an employment need that has been clearly identified. The professional insertion of youths into the job market is slow, according to MINEFOP estimates which stand at 30-40 per cent.

Officials of the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training are meeting in Yaounde for their annual conference.
Vocational training is the foundation for every meaningful development and copying the good side of policies for a change in society and most especially for a better number of Cameroonâs employment performance is nothing bad, says the Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, MINEFOP, Zacharie Perevet. The Minister has vowed to transform Cameroonâs vocational training and employment sector to what holds in a partner country, South Korea where vocational training takes pride of place in the countryâs growth drive. Chairing the opening ceremony of the annual conference of MINEFOP in Yaounde yesterday February 4, 2016, Minister Perevet stated that his management was committed to tapping from Korea to enhance its human resources.
Staff of the Ministry will on the theme ; « Vocational Training and Growth and Employment Promising Sectors » seek to harmonise policies and strategies that can scale up employment figures, explained Comfort Ngu Fomede, Technical Adviser N° 1. She said the Ministry was working towards directing all vocational training programmes towards the needs of the job market. Promising sectors like esthetics, wood work, industrial plumbing, electricity, automation, Information and Communication Technologies, hotel managemnt and tourism have been cited amongst the good employment specialities. She stated that the three advanced vocational training centres in Douala, Limbe and Sangmelima constructed and equipped with the support of the Korean government will train trainers and job seekers in many specialities that fall within promising sectors. The Ministry will in 2016 facilitate and promote job creation through the operationalisation of the centres. Specialities were identified in collaboration with enterprises employing job seekers, it was disclosed.
The Minister stressed that any vocational training centre to go operational in Cameroon must henceforth answer an employment need that has been clearly identified. The professional insertion of youths into the job market is slow, according to MINEFOP estimates which stand at 30-40 per cent. This figure is beyond expectation, but Zacharie Perevet says they are working towards turning the tides.

Cameroon-Japan Cooperation:Ambassador Okamura Meets North West Governor
The diplomat led a press trip to Lake Nyos to visit the degasing project funded by his government.
The Japanese Ambassador to Cameroon, His Excellency Kunio Okamura, on February 3, 2016, in Bamenda, met with the Governor of the North West Region, Adolphe Lele Lafrique, during which they discussed cooperation between the two countries. The Ambassador was on his way to Lake Nyos area in Boyo and Menchum Divisions to visit a Japanese-funded lake degasing project.
Speaking to the press after the meeting, Kunio Okamura said the Japanese government has been funding and taking part in the monitoring of volcanic activities in the lake since the 1986 gas disaster to avoid any future occurrence. He said it was his first visit to the region since taking up duties last year. The diplomat added that it was also his first time of meeting with Governor Lele Lafrique. On his part, Governor Lele LâAfrique thanked the Japanese government for the support given to Cameroon since 1986 in providing expertise in preventing any future gas eruption.
He said survivors and descendants of the August 21, 1986 Lake Nyos Gas Disaster needed roads and social amenities like water and classrooms. The Governor said government has taken steps to provide some of the needs, but much was still lacking. Lele Lafrique solicited the support of foreign partners like Japan in order to improve the living conditions of the people, noting that a security perimeter around the lake has been earmarked. This he explained, will with time enable people displaced by the disaster to return to areas not included in the security perimeter.

Editorial:PNDP III, Genuine Synergy Necessary!
With almost all now set for the Community-driven Participatory Development Programme (PNDP) to take phase III of its projects off the ground, beneficiary populations are certainly beaming with enthusiasm to see what projects will be financed in their localities. Indeed, their expectations are legitimate given what the programme has done in the already reached areas in terms of development.
Official statistics show that since 2004 when the programme saw the light of day, the living conditions of millions of Cameroonians in rural areas have been improved upon and about 900 boreholes constructed to supply thousands of households with potable water. Over 1,726 birth certificates and 1,010 national identity cards are also said to have been issued to pygmies, 32 health centres constructed to facilitate access to affordable health care as well as 161 km of farm-to-market roads constructed to facilitate the movement of people and goods. If only for these and other achievements, many could fervently pray for its continuation.
News therefore that funding for the third phase is available ignites joy and raises hope in the population, especially those earmarked by the life-changing projects. In effect, a FCFA 42 billion loan agreement was signed Wednesday between the Minister of the Economy, Planning and Regional Development, Louis Paul Motaze and the World Bank Director of Operations in Cameroon, Elisabeth Huybens to rumble off the programmeâs third phase.
What makes the soon-to-start third phase of PNDP more interesting is the announced priority for areas not reached by the last two phases. This gives the programme a national touch. But beyond that, giving the significant share of the funds (42 per cent) to a development-challenging region like the Far North manifests the human face absolutely needed by a programme of this nature. Imposed insecurity in the region owing to barbaric activities of extremist Boko Haram sect has pulled back her development. This therefore needed unreserved attention, part of which is already contained in the PNDP phase III.
As the stakeholders brace up to start field work when the funds are disbursed, it would be of utmost importance to reinforce the participatory approach in development that the programme set out to achieve. This entails going to the population, discussing with them on their needs and seeing how and when the programme could step in. As a matter of fact, it shouldnât be Yaounde bureaucrats sitting in air-conditioned offices to choose what they deem good for people in rural settings. Thank God PNDP works with councils, through their various council development plans which have almost all been drawn up and endorsed. Even with the development plans, there is need to ensure that projects are taken to where and when they are needed. It doesnât serve any purpose digging boreholes, for example, where the local population; through their village development associations, have procured potable water.
Beneficial populations will better express their needs, appreciate any project that comes to meet their needs and jealously preserve whatever is given them following their request. The FCFA 42 billion is by every means largely insufficient to meet the growing needs of the population. But if there is genuine synergy between them and the benefactor, whatever is realized would constitute a leap in the socio-economic life of the beneficiaries. Once there is proper synergy between all the actors in the programmeâs chain, value is given to what is achieved and follow up made easier on executed projects. Only then can reckless wastes noticed in some executed projects be averted. After all, very few or even none would give due value to projects imposed on their communities, at times when they do not even need them.
