At Bot-Makak some elite, sons and daughters, militants, sympathisers and supporters of the ruling CPDM party reserved a red carpet reception to Catherine Bakang Mbock and delegation. Her call was for non-holders of identity cards to identify themselves and benefit from the Head of State’s largess of reducing to cost of establishing ID cards to FCFA 2,800. She challenged all to take the bull by the horns and get more people registered. “The campaign to intensify registration into the voters list was launched on November 4, 2010 in Eseka, and has reached its crucial phase,” she said. The President of the Communal Committee for Registration in Bot-Makak, Oum Edward said 47, 000 people have been registered in Bot-Makak among which were 600 new voters who who did not register for the 2007 election. The CPDM Section President for the Nyong and Kelle North, Philippe Nyobe Mangog, challenged the population of Bot-Makak to re-elect President Paul Biya while assuring Catherine Bakang Mbock that they will not let her down in her endeavours to get ID cards to potential voters and boost the electoral registration.
Prior to the stop at Bot-Makak, Catherine Mbakang Mbock and delegation was in the Nguibassal Sub-Division. The meeting with militants, supporters and sympathisers gave both parties the opportunity to revisit records. It was revealed that 2,214 voters have been registered in the Sub-Division up from 1,900 in 2007.
Catherine Bakang Mbock ended her visit to both sub divisions by inviting the population to be vigilant and grasp the opportunity of the Head of State to inject 25,000 youths into the public service. She took time off at each stop to explain the conditions and the different field available. She also handed FCFA 300,000 each to Nguibassal and Bot-Makat communal committees for the establishment of ID cards to the population. At the end of the working sessions, two motions of supports were signed and addressed to the Head of State Paul Biya.
