Kumba III council building abandoned in shrubs

The council chambers of the Kumba III council that has been under construction since the reign of the former mayor, Samuel Ndeme Takang has been abandoned in a thick forest along the Tancha - Mambanda road.

Manyi Evelyn, a resident by the abandoned council building in Mambanda told The Guardian Post that the building has been converted to a hideout for thieves who operate along the Kumba-Mamfe road. Meanwhile, Forbi Anthony, another neighbor to the deserted council building narrated how animals like hamsters and rodents have also made the building their comfortable habitat.

The Guardian Post has also learnt that the current SDF-run council has not been able to secure a loan from FEICOM to complete the building.

It was also alleged that the current council executive, after one year in office has been able to secure a loan of 40MFCFA which sources say did not go a long way to complete the building.

Apart from being ditched in the bushes, students of GBHS Mambanda and passengers of the Kumba-Mamfe road barely look upon the structure as a monument as they pass through, a resident told us. He also lamented almost in tears “God safe Kumba III council from vanishing.” This reporter was also tipped-off that at least two pythons have been killed in the building ever since the structure was left by the powers that be to dilapidate.
