Village at war with former National Assembly Questor over new school

Tension, frustration and emotional outbursts have now reached crescendo in Kung village, Fungom sub division, Menchum division of the north west region after thousands of school boys and girls have been blocked from starting school following a row between the former national assembly questor, Nji Fidelis Muziah and Fon Kum Gilbert of Kung Village.

Matters came to a head at the dawn of the 2014/2015 academic year when inhabitants of Kung village were asked to pay the sum of FCFA 250,000 to acquire a land title for the school.

The Sun gathered that in 2011, government created two schools, notably Government Technical College Kung and Government Technical College Kumfutu in Fungom sub Division.

While GTC Kumfutu went operational long ago, GTC Kung has been allegedly blocked from taking off by the former national assembly Questor,Nji Fidelis Muziah.

When The Sun contacted HRH Fon Kum Gilbert on phone, he picked holes with the Divisional Officer for Fungom Edward Forsab Egbe and the Divisional Delegate of Secondary Education for Menchum for their inability to discharge their republican duties.

Hear him “my subjects and fondom have been twisted and frozen due to our political and democratic lucidity when it comes to the understanding of the crooked political and administrative actions instrumented by local incompetent and lazy CPDM guys.

If we go deeply to scrutinize these guys, we shall discover that, 90 percent of them are ineligible where they have been politically and administratively seated. Some of them” he continued “even hold not less than 3 distinct political, corporate, administrative and managerial posts with their incompetence and inertia qualities”.

He lambasted that “democratization in such a polity becomes difficult, offended if these CPDM guys really love their Fatherland and compatriots they must surrender the mal-governance, corrupt and undemocratic behaviours they have elected, in favour of a grounded and smooth democratization process, which could politically wage and boost a smooth and peaceful transition in Cameroon”.

Comparing the pathetic situation, he exploded that “if we were like here in the west, which is an advanced democracy albeit with some meager deficits in the matter, the CPDM politicians and administrative fake and unpopular champions who are involve in the GTC Fung affair, would have been sacked from their various positions and or dragged to court and questioned”.

He also lamented that it is just too democratically and politically dangerous to deprive a community the right to education, which are one of the development linchpins in all societies today. “Without education, human beings would have been permanently condemned to societal and political darkness”.

The Fon further said ,Nji Fidelis Muziah had vowed that the college will not go operational because the said community contributed in him being booted out of the national assembly in the 30th September 2013 elections. However, all attempts to get Nji Fidelis Muziah to comment on the allegations against him met with stonewall.

According to a hint, UNESCO Director General, Irina Georgieva Bokova who was recently in Cameroon has been alerted on the matter.

Fon Kum Gilbert hammered that “My arguments are founded with the facts that, other schools that were created at the same time and with the same Prime Ministerial Decree went operational since the academic year 2011/12. Therefore, my questions are why has this electoralist and political discrimination mechanism been relentlessly invested in my Kung fondom? Is my Fondom having no right to get access in and to the establishment of the national resources and development attributes and resources on our fatherland as defined and established by our fundamental principles? Why should the creation of schools be used as electoral and political blackmail instruments by the CPDM regime? In Political Science, such political behaviours constitute and fulfil the characteristics of a banana state functional regime. I am not scared and afraid of any CPDM politicians and or administrators who believe they can use state resources and political attributes and mechanisms in hindering the progress and development of its citizenry. With such skeleton political behaviours, how can we attain the 2035 millennium goal as constantly propagandized by the CPDM regime? I really cast some political doubts if these politicians and administrators hindering the progress of their fatherland are real patriots, politicians or political merchandisers. If Cameroon would have been a democracy, their qualifications as politicians and administrators really need to go through a scrutiny test mechanism. Education being a right and not a favour should not suffer from the mal-governance practices that are being orchestrated on our fatherland by incompetent CPDM administrators and politicians. I don’t give any recognition and opportunity to those naked undemocratic and what I will qualify in my own words as a primitive political mal-governance behaviour from those CPDM guys there”.

A classified source also hinted that heads are likely to roll in relation to the matter. While some of our traditional rulers have been reduced to nothing by the CPDM bigwigs who like wanton boys use them for their sports, Fon Kum Gilbert is making a difference where many faltered.

Fon Kum Gilbert had earlier promised that he will spare no efforts to draw the attention of the permanent representative of UNESCO in Cameroon, and other democratic and human rights institution in and out of Cameroon, notably, the UN, EU, CONAC and others, to know that, in Cameroon the creation and functioning of government educational institutions are electorally politicized.
