Cameroon: Prime Minister Philemon Yang chairs last cabinet meeting for the year 2015

Prime Minister Philemon Yang has chaired the last cabinet meeting for the year 2015. The Head of Government seen here with the Cameroonian dictator President Biya, centred discussions on two major issues: the execution of construction projects of national road networks and the improvement of procurement procedures of public contracts.

Concerning road networks, especially the Yaounde – Douala highway, the Edea – Kribi port road and the Yaounde – Nsimalen urban motorway, the Prime Minister called for an acceleration of construction works. He did not make mention of roads in his enclaved Oku constituency. 

Yang called on the Minister of State Property and Land Tenure and that of Territorial Administration to ensure that compensations be paid for those displaced by such projects. Philemon Yang also mentioned the need to encourage the displaced population to contribute towards a successful completion of the projects.

In relation to the procurement procedures of public contracts, the Head of Government lauded the efforts of the Minister of Public Contracts and emphasised on the need to improve the system in 2016. Ministers of State, Minister Delegates and Secretaries of State took part in the cabinet meeting which lasted about an hour, forty minutes.
