The reconstruction of the Kumba Finance Building that was ravaged in the 2008 February upheavals has been included in the just-launched 2009 investment budget for Meme Division.
Speaking at the Kumba City Council Hall, the Meme Divisional Delegate for Economy, Planning and Regional Development, MINEPAT, Leo Ako, stated that the first phase of the Finance Building would start this year at the cost of FCFA 160 million.
The building would host the Taxation Department and the Treasury Department also razed during the uprising, adding that the Finance Control Office would equally operate from the structure.
Ako also said the Divisional Delegation of Labour and Social Security would be constructed at FCFA 25 million and the Divisional Delegation of State Property rehabilitated at FCFA 39 million, all of which were burnt during the violent demonstration.
Besides, the Delegate said the budget envisages the renovation of MINEPAT and the Delegation of Agriculture and Rural Development.He added that some eight classrooms would be constructed for Basic Education and 13 for Secondary education in the Division.
He said maintenance of the electricity system of GTHS Kumba would be carried out at FCFA 40 million and the construction of hydraulic system in Matoh at FCFA 60 million
Ako further said rural electrification at Big Butu for FCFA would be done 40 million and the carpentry workshops repaired at FCFA 15 million, amongst others.
He said some 97 projects would be executed for the 2009 budget in Meme which stands at FCFA 1,086,457,000. In retrospect, the Delegate said the 2009 budget had a remarkable increase of 45 percent from the 2008 budget of FCFA 700 million that executed 85 percent.
He said some problems encountered in the execution of the 2008 budget was the general increase in the prices of construction materials and a shortage of cement, causing price hikes.On his part, the Senior Divisional Officer for Meme, Magloire Abath Zangbwala, said the physical and financial execution of the 2008 budget in Meme stood at 99.7 percent and 99.2 percent respectively.
Such realisation, he said, ranked the Division amongst the best in the country. Meanwhile, the Meme Divisional Chief of Taxes, Denis Nkwelle Wang, said he targets a collection of FCFA 30 million per month from Kumba.
