La Republique: Suspense building as CPDM barons await reshuffle ⁰

With just 2 weeks or so to go, there will be many frayed nerves in the CPDM ranks. Some are fearing the chop, others are hopeful of promotion. French Cameroun politics is a cruel business and hopeful aspirants know that, should they miss out this time around, they will have to visit TB Joshua or wait until 2018 presidential elections before another chance comes their way. That is if Biya and the CPDM are still in Government at that stage or Cameroon is till one and indivisible.

Cameroon Concord News gathered from a well-placed source in Yaoundé, that the possible government reshuffle will send away members of government who have served well over 10 years in their position. There are a sea of senior Cameroon government officials including 7 ministers, 4 deputy ministers and 3 Secretaries of State, who have already spent at least 10 years in the same post.

Apart from the Southern Cameroonian, Chief Dr. Dion Ngute, Minister Delegate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge of the Commonwealth, the CPDM crime syndicate has kept André Mama Fouda, Minister of Public Health, Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana, Minister of Commerce, Madeleine Tchuinte, Minister of Scientific Research and Innovation.
Laurent Serge Etoundi Ngoa, Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises, Social Economy and Crafts, Jacques Fame Ndongo, Minister of Higher Education, Zacharie Perevet, Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, and Pierre Hele, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Sustainable Development.
