The pioneer female chairperson of the board of directors of the National School of Administration and Magistracy known by its French acronym, ENAM, Helen Feh Galega, has been charged to ensure serenity at the prestigious institution.

            Public service and administrative reforms Minister Joseph Le issued the charge as he faced the press shortly after presiding over the installation of Mrs Galega into her functions, Friday July 20. The occaision was staged on the campus of ENAM in Yaoundé.

            Le said, the new board chair must concert with the Director of ENAM, its staff and other collaborators to ensure that, serenity reins at all times.

            The Minister averred that, the image of ENAM must be seen to be more positive on the African continent. He said, standards must be upheld and sustained given that the institution remains the cradle of training of top level administrative and judicial officials for Cameroon’s public service.

            Mrs Galega has as task to ensure the harmonious updating of the institution’s functioning in line with the new status of the school.

            The mother of five children takes over from Joseph Malegho who was appointed as the SG of the Constitutional Council. Galega who holds two Master’s degrees in International humanitarian Law and Engllish Private Law respectively,  is also an alumnus of ENAM.

            She was appointed in February by a presidential decree.

            ENAM has gone through turbulence in recent years. Clashes of interest over the handling of admission of students into the institution has oftentimes robbed it of needed credibility.

            In 2017, it took the intervention of President Biya to end a stalemate between former Public Service Minister, Michel Ange Anguin and the Director of ENAM over who had right to publish the list of admitted students.
