Ndzenyuy Margaret of the Cameroon Baptist convention Health services were installed into office last week.

The newly appointed officials of the Banso Baptist Hospital have been commissioned into office. The administrator general, Kangong Joce and the assistant supervisor of nursing services, Ndzenyuy Margaret of the Cameroon Baptist convention Health services were installed into office last week.

The installation ceremony which took place during a divine service in the hospital premises on Saturday was presided over by the director of Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services, Tih Pius Muffih.

Speaking on the behalf of the board of the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services, CBCHS, Tih entreated the new hospital administrators to uphold the mission statement of CBC Health services. He stressed that the mission statement is to assist in the provision of healthcare to all who need it as an expression of Christian love and especially to uphold the vision statement which is quality health care to all. Professor Tih told them to enable everybody who comes to the hospital receive the quality health they are expected to give.

Pastor Bah Emmanuel Nshom, the Nso field pastor of the CBC in dedicating Kangong and Ndzenyuy to their functions told them to submit themselves to God and to confirm that God ordained them to render health service to all.

While the CBC top official also used the ceremony to launch the nursing manual, Rev. Tanni Moses dedicated the revised nursing procedure manual to God.

The second assistant SDO for Bui, Meke Brice Olinga who sat in for the SDO congratulated the out-gone senior administrator of the BBH, Ndzenyuiy Rose for her dedicated service at the helm of the hospital and Ful Joseph Ngam for his new appointment as an adviser to the director of CBC Health Services in Bamenda. He recalled the fact that Ful Joseph had worked in close collaboration with the Bui administration, promising to offer the new team the same collaboration.

Kangong in his speech raised hope and pledged to follow strictly the management principles in order to offer the best services. He added that the staff and personnel are the live wire of the structures and that BBH is not a small institution as far as health is concerned. He said the challenge definitely is not only to keep the hospital running but running very smoothly.

Meanwhile, for her part, Ndzenyuy Margaret said justice, peace and love should prevail among them. She assured that they will devote themselves to good and quality work profitable to all.

Other speeches came from the Bui divisional delegate of labour and social security, Tafu Samson Shei and a representative of the chief medical officer for Kumbo West health district.

The withdrawal of the passport of the secretary general of the Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT, Tombi à Roko, by judicial authorities could be a green

 light for former Indomitable Lions’ goalkeeper, Bell Joseph Antoine to become the next president of the federation.

Tombi à Roko had earlier on been declared as the only legitimate candidate for the FECAFOOT top job. The decision by the FECAFOOT normalization committee to retain him as the only candidate triggered bitter debates amongst football lovers who saw in the move a hidden hand that wanted to hand the FA top job to Tombi on a platter of gold.

Tombi’s lone investiture therefore led to the disqualification of the candidatures of other potential candidates, including: Bell Joseph Antoine, former Indomitable Lions’ trainer, Jules Nyongha and many others.

In the midst of the controversy, the FECAFOOT normalization committee president, Joseph Owona was fingered for reportedly trying to push through Tombi to become the next FECAFOOT president. Continues protest later led to the disqualification of all applications and elections pushed to February.

Should Tombi à Roko remain in the hands of the judiciary following the withdrawal of his passport, Bell Joseph Antoine could easily grasp the coveted FECAFOOT top job, observers say.

According to the rules governing elections into FECAFOOT, any candidate facing mismanagement or embezzlement charges as is the case with Tombi is automatically disqualified from seeking election into any office.

The reason why Tombi’s supporters are already pointing accussing fingers at some quarters for framing the current FECAFOOT scribe and candidate for the FA top job in order to bar him from contesting.

Withdrawal of Tombi à Roko’s passport

Going by unofficial information, Tombi à Roko’s passport was seized by airport police at the Douala international airport last Monday. Tombi, according to an unnamed source who spoke to The Guardian Post had already boarded a plane for Malabo, Equatorial Guinea to watch the Africa Cup of Nations when the police emerged and ordered him out of the plane.

Even though some media reports say the FECAFOOT secretary general was subsequently conveyed to the Special Criminal Court for interrogations, The Guardian Post gathered from a credible source that Tombi only had his passport seized. In effect, his trip to Malabo ended immediately his passport was withdrawn.

The police had vouched during the operation that they were executing the instructions of the delegate general for national security who had instructed them not to allow Tombi travel out of the country. Going by the police, the delegate general’s instructions came on the heels of a request made by the Special Criminal Court, SCC that Tombi’s passport be withdrawn.

Details about why his passport was seized are still sketchy, but media reports say the withdrawal of his passport could be connected to the alleged opaque management of funds accruing from the GOAL project way back in 1999.

The then president of Asian Football Association and director general of GOAL project, Mohammed Bin Hammam allegedly paid the sum of 200.000 dollars to FECAFOOT to support Qatar’s bid to host the 2022 World Cup.

But it appeared the money which was to be used in the construction of the FECAFOOT technical centre at the Odza neighbourhood in Yaounde was instead deposited in the private account of a FECAFOOT official. The centre was earmarked to host three training podiums, a lodging building for athletes, a restaurant, an administrative building and a multipurpose hall. The entire project was estimated to cost 600 MFCFA.
