The current that flows between Paul Elung
& Ngole Philip should now flow even
better
|
KupeMuanenguba ‘en haut’ with two ministers
- Ngole Philip Ngwese maintained at Forestry
- Elung Paul Che stages spectacular rebound
at MINFI
Hundreds of youths took to the streets of
Tombel and Bangem on Friday, to celebrate the appointment of Mr. Elung Paul Che
as minister delegate to the ministry of Finance and the confirmation of Mr. Ngole
Philip Ngwese as Minister of Forestry and Wildlife.
The
Median gathered that the celebrations in Tombel, Bangem and other villages in
KupeMuanenguba Division continued until very late into the night.
In
Tombel for instance, jubilant youths marched to the home of Pa Elung, father of
Mr. Elung Paul, to congratulate him once again for bearing a son who has always
done KupeMuanenguba Division in general and Tombel in particular proud.
The
youths left the compound of Pa Elung and marced straight to Mr. Paul Elung’s
residence situated just a stone throw from the father’s. Here they continued
dancing and hotting up the place, even though their illustrious “big brother”,
Paul Elung was not in town to ‘farote’ them as he has always done.
Back
in Yaounde, sons and daughters of the South West region, mostly those from
KupeMuanenguba trooped into the Simbock Palace of MrNgole Philip Ngwese where
they took turns to file past and congratulate the minister and his wife.
Dressed
in a simple short sleeve shirt with black trousers to match, the minister in
his characteristic easy-going disposition, shook the hand of every one of his
guests, saying “thank you for coming”.
The
guests were supplied drinks of their choices – Beer, whisky, champagne etc, as
they eased themselves into the seats provided in the courtyard of the very
expansive compound.
It
was idem at the Odzaneighbourhood residence of the GM of the Hydrocarbons
Prices Stabilization Fund CSPH, who is now the Minister Delegate at the MINFI,
Mr. Elung Paul Che, who unfortunately was not at home to welcome his guests.
The
Median gathered that Mr. Elung had travelled out of the country – specifically
to Europe and Asia, on official mission, when the news of the cabinet shake-up
broke out. We however learnt that the new minister cut short his sojourn abroad
and rushed home on Saturday evening.
Even
though Mr. Elung was not there to welcome his guests, his ever smiling and very
hospitable wife, Mrs Sylvie Elung, was readily available to receive the guests
and make them comfortable.
MrsElung
made sure there was enough champagne and exquisite wine and whisky for her
guests. And those present could not be indifferent to the intermittent shouts
of “O so ho nso… O so ho nso… O so ho so… Ho” from the men and women from
KupeMuanenguba division.
Two Ministers
The
appointment Friday of Mr. Elung Paul as Minister Delegate at the MINFI has
brought to two the number of cabinet ministers from KupeMuanenguba Division.
This is because Ngole Philip Ngwese was maintained as Minister of Forestry and
Wildlife where he has been since November 2011.
It
is worthy to note that it is the first time KupeMuanenguba is having two
ministers in the same government. They
now join Manyu Division that also has two ministers – Prof. Peter
AgborTabi, ASG of the Presidency and Mengot Victor Arrey – Minister of Special
Duties at the Presidency.
Commentators
said by giving two ministers to KupeMuanenguba Division, President Biya has not
only reminded the people at the foot of Mt. Kupe that he has always had them
close to his heart but has also renewed the pact that many believe he entered
with KupeMuanenguba Division since decades ago.
It
is important to note that ever since President Biya acceded to the Etoudi
thrown on 6th November 1982, he has always made sure KupeMuanenguba sons and
daughters occupy good positions in the administration. Prominent names like
EbongNgalame, Albert NgomeKome, John EbongNgole, Elvis NgolleNgolle are only some of them.
