This
Friday 2nd
October 2015, a Presidential decree appointing 17 new Ministers in Cameroon
brought mixed feelings to Momo Division of the Northwest Region. While Ama Tutu
Muna from Ngyembo in Momo who hitherto was Arts and Culture Minister was shown
the door out of government, the Head of State, H.E. Paul Biya appointed Mbah
Acha nee Foumunda Rose Ngwari from Batibo to head the supreme State Audit. Reports
from Momo generally talk of mixed emotions. While some opinion leaders express surprise
as to how a Muna could be kicked out of government with a very strong physically expressed attachment to the ruling CPDM party, others who see the supreme
State Audit function as more dignifying are of the opinion that it is better
than Ama’s ministry.
Mbihbe
Sylvester a political scientist talking to hiltopvoices on phone from Yaounde
observed that the Muna’s have been in the system for too long. “It is just
natural that they take a break and give room for others.” he said. “Mbah Acha
Rose is a lady of substance whose trappings are clear particularly in the
judiciary.” He added.
Prior
to her appointment Mbah Acha Rose was serving as the President of the Regional administrative
court in the Northwest region.
