South West Region

New service delegates installed
By Ndang Eric in Buea
Some 17 Regional delegates and heads of services appointed recently in the south west region have been officially installed. The installation ceremony presided over by the governor of the regional Governor Bernard Okalia Bilai took place at the CNPS hall in Buea, on 6 March 2015.
    Addressing the newly appointed personalities, the Governor hailed them, saying their appointment was a sign that they merited the confidence of their hierarchy. He reminded them that their appointment comes in the wake of the emergency plan and the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency plus the census by the finance department to track ghost pensioners.
    Okalia Bilia therefore prescribed discipline, respect for hierarchy, vigilance, commitment to service and abnegation to be the watch words for the new officials; all this without leaving out security measures to protect the institutions they are called upon to head.

    He reminded them that as the chief executive officer of the region he will always seek technical advice from them.  He urged them to always notify him and get his approval before they ever vacate their posts be it for on official assignment or leave.
    Emphasizing on good governance and the fight against corruption Governor Okalia warned that culprits would be severely sanctioned.
Talking to The Median shortly after his installation the regional delegate for post and tele-communications, Nkwelle Epie Time, said a lot needs to be done to sensitize the public on the services that they offer. He said much has changed for the better in the services offered and more will continue to be ameliorated to satisfy the public.
    For his part, the regional delegate of agriculture, Enang James Enang, promised to transform the South West region into a veritable bread basket of Cameroon and the CEMAC region by ensuring that farmers get the necessary support. He promised that high yielding seeds from IRAD will be provided for free to farmers.
    For the new delegate of transport, Ivo Vevanje, he promised to continue from where his predecessor, Senator Arthur Lysinge, stopped. 
The new communication boss for the south west, Achu Rosette Bih, promised to cleanse the profession of charlatans.
