The Council held its session on April 15, 2014 and showcased several implemented projects.

A few months since the ruling CPDM recaptured the Babessi Council from the opposition Social Democratic Front (SDF) party, the password in the municipality is “Business and Life without Stress. In effect, the Council area is on track with development barely 119 days since the CPDM councillors took office. To show for the difference are street lights at main centres of the fondoms of Babessi, Bangolan, Baba I and Babungo.

They equally showcase some five kilometres of roads rehabilitated with laterite spread in Babessi, Baba I and Babungo, assistance towards the construction of classrooms in GSS Mbinze, GBHS Babessi, GSS Vengo, GSS Komue, GSS Veme, GSS Ndumunwi, GTC Babungo and the rehabilitation of GS Mambin. On-the-Spot in Babessi, councillors also showcase the rehabilitation and extension of the Council’s office, feasibility studies for a new Council complex and main market, the opening of the Mambin Market and extension of the Babungo market.

Away from that, they have completed the Mayor’s  residence, purchased a council truck, recruited some 55 teachers to  enhance teaching  in primary schools, employed lab technicians and nurses to serve needy health units, employed youths to enhance security  in  the council area and extended electricity from Mukulung to Mbisang-Bangolan.

In the short and long of it, the Mayor of Babessi, Choh Issa  Buba described by inhabitants as the most articulate and fearless  political actor, told CT  that Babessi council  took barely 119 days to implement 65 per cent of its 2014 plan of action. It emerged from their Council session of April 15, 2014 that the council has settled all salary arrears inherited from their predecessors and are regular with staff salaries.

Choh Issa Buba regrets that they met a debt of about FCFA 153 million, but it is yet to be a speed brake in their commitment to rise to expectation and ensure the welfare of the population. The way forward according to Choh Issa Buba includes infrastructural planning and good management to ensure good governance, best use of human resources and building partnerships for balanced development to take care of the future. It is all about giving Babessi a chance in peace, unity and development.
