Hmmmm Camer ohhh!!! Guys you need to read this...
Abba Sadou, Minister
Delegate at the Presidency in Charge of Public Contracts, has launched a tender
for the purchase of 16 vehicles to be used at various project sites being
prepared for the 2016 and 2019 Africa cup of nations tournaments.
According to the minister,
bids for the supply of the vehicles which should be tendered only from car
dealers in Cameroon, will open on May 12, and payment will be effected with
money from the 2016 public investment budget of the Ministry of Sports and
Physical Education.
The brand new vehicles to be
procured include 4×4 pickup trucks as well as other vehicles adaptable to
transporting materials and wares used at construction sites.
However, some have labeled
the move to purchase the vehicles as wasteful and unnecessary; questioning why
service vehicles of the various ministries involved in the projects execution
could not be used.
We recall that a
presidential decree of October 3, 2014 created an inter-ministerial preparatory
committee, involving up to 17 government ministries, headed by the Prime
Minister, to oversee an optimal preparation for the 2016 and 2019 Africa cup of
nations tournaments.
The said committee has as
mission to set out a strategic plan of action for the success of the two
competitions; by coming up with infrastructure projects, an in-depth calendar
on how and when each of the projects will be carried out, and where financing
will be sourced from.
It is in this light that
government earmarked over FCFA 550 billion in the 2016 state budget for the
execution of various giant projects within the framework of the continental
tournaments.
