Ndu Council Mayor Blame drop of Management accounts on current crisis
In an opening speech during that session, the mayor of Ndu Council Bunyui Emmanuel Nyugap disclosed that the 2017 accounts witnessed a a drastic drop which can evidently be blamed on the current crisis in the North West and South West region.
He said the sum of FCFA 445.338.247 came in as revenue in 2017 down from FCFA 571.484.058) of 2016. The most disturbing fact is that Ndu council is suffering from the same epileptic malaise like all the councils in Cameroon given that from statistics, the council is unable to generate up to 15% of its total revenue.
Four hundred and forty five million three hundred and thirty eight thousand two hundred and forty seven(445.338.247) came in as revenue in 2017 witnessing a drop from the from the five hundred and seventy one million four hundred and eighty four thousand fifty eight(571.484.058) of 2016. Details of 2017 revenue stands as follows
-brought forward for 2016- 41.840.253
-local collection - 48.132.054
-state transfer credits - 60.550.626
-transfer from FEICOM - 272.715.831
-PNDP funds - 22.099.483
Total expenditure stood at 397.890.889.
Local collection the mayor says dropped by over twenty six millions reasons which he says "is not unconnected to the ongoing civil disobedience in which Ndu has been in the mainstream with pontifical tenacity"
Either still to begin or ongoing already are the rehabilitation of the water supply in Ndu that has barely begun.
*The Ntundip market construction that will soon go operational.
* Installation of solar lamps in the weeks ahead.
SDO for Donga Mantung Nkwenti Simon Doh used the forum to call on the councilors, council executive and the staff to develop strategies to generate and or collect more revenue locally. He said the council should be able to generate at least 50% of its revenue locally in order to be sustainable.
