The 8-year old child, Anthonia Beckley Tigu, who was knocked
down by the convoy of the minister of basic education has been buried at
Mabunji, Kumba.
The
Technical Adviser No. 2 at the MINEDUB, Akemda Eric Achankeng, comforted the
family on behalf of the minister, who was unavoidably absent. Akemda handed a
package to the mother of the child. But the contents of the package were not
disclosed to the public.
The
burial was also attended by Meme SDO, and a cross section of CPDM militants in
the division.
Speaking
at the burial, Hon. Atinda Martin of Meme west constituency debunked rumours
which had been circulating on the social media about the minister
YoussoufHadidja haven abandoned the family on their own and switched off her
phone. He revealed that since the child
was knocked down while returning from fetching water he and other CPDM
officials will lobby for the minister to see to it that pipe borne water is
provided to the community of Mabunji.
The
mother of the deceased, EverlynTigu and other family heads expressed their
gratitude to the government for coming to their aide in these hard times by
helping them burry their child.
The
burial took place today June 16 at Mabunji and was attended by inspectors of
basic education in the entire division alongside the divisional delegate of
basic education for Meme.
