MP Donates Safety Kits to Bike Riders in Y’de
By Doh Bertrand Nua in Yaounde
Commercial motorbike riders within Yaounde VI municipality have benefited hygiene kits and sensitization on ways to prevent and avoid the spread of the deadly coronavirus within the municipality.
    The gifts were donated by Hon. Yebga Judith Sama epse Meno, CPDM Member of Parliament for Mfoundi VI constituency, on Tuesday 7 April 2020.
    This was in a ceremony at the Yaounde VI DO’s office, in the presence of the DO, Etoundi Joseph Alain, alongside some medical experts.
    The gifts comprised hand sanitizers, masks, gloves, jackets as well as washing soaps and buckets.
    Speaking on the occasion, the MP said the donation falls in line with her election campaign promises, one of which was to assist the population wherever and whenever the need arises.
    “The government has done so much to stop the spread of this deadly pandemic. So I thought that the motormen who are the most exposed because they go out every day to look for their daily bread should be assisted and sensitized,” she said.

    Hon. Yebga added that the donation of hygiene kits to the bikers would help them from becoming agents of transmission as they go about their daily activities. “I thought that beginning with them and supporting them with these items will help to prevent the spread of the virus,” she added.
    The beneficiaries on their path saluted the gesture of the MP and promised to continue working together with administrative and municipal authorities to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
    “I want to appreciate this our mother who has given us this token for us to prevent this virus which is worrying not only our town but the whole country and the world,” Alain Befou, a beneficiary said, adding that they were also taught how to use items and given preventive measures to the virus. He and his colleagues who benefited promised to spread the sensitization messages they gathered from the health experts to their passengers on a daily basis.
