"We still have farm to market roads that will be looked into, portable water, electrification of some areas and medical equipment."
The council unfortunately had some of its credit cards sent back to Yaounde. A call Councilors say should not happen again.
On the front of the public investment budget, classrooms were constructed at GS Ntabuwe with benches, chairs and teachers desk provided. The Akossi drinking water supply project has been completed. That of Ndung stands at 30%. Municipal roads have also been rehabilitated.
