HEAVEN ON EARTH IN BOYO DIVISION

A parliamentarian in Boyo Division has declared to his constituents that the Division will be transformed into “a  new heaven”.

The Member of Parliament who is Evaristus Njong with a constituency covering Fundong, Njinikom and Bum, made the declaration in Fundong – headquarters of Boyo Division - as he made a donation of 500 000 FRS. CFA towards projects in the constituency. The money is to be used for projects such as the refurbishment of schools and the provision of potable water.

Hon. Njong lambasted the 8000 000 FRS. Given to parliamentarians to help in developing their localities as being too small to make any meaningful impact. The Post quotes him saying: “ Let government scrap off the FCFA 8 million  micro-projects and pump in more money for meaningful projects in Councils”. The National Assembly member regretted  that the inadequacy of the amount embarrassed parliamentarians who were unable to top it up to reach a level for meaningful investment in their communities as intended. As a result, “they (the parliamemntarians) disappear and never return to the people because they have no private money to add to government input”.

However, the politician told his audience that because the motto of his party (the SDF) is `Democracy, Justice and Development`, “Fundong and the rest of the communities in Boyo Division will rise from the present state to a new heaven.”
