The Mayor of the Bamenda II Council, Peter Chenwi has presented the council's report card between 2020/2024 since he assumed office as municipal authority of Bamenda II.

Facing the Press, Tuesday April 2,2024 in Bamenda, Mayor Peter Chenwi through a PowerPoint presentation made known some of the goals the council has scored since he came in to office in March 2020.

The expansion of the Bamenda II Council Equipment pool, providing a dump truck to take care of sanitation are some of the areas where Mayor Peter Chenwi said he was able to make his presence felt as municipal authority.


Bamenda II Council Equipment Pool 

Under infrastructural development, the mayor was confident to bring out what he has achieved in that area. 






Construction of bridges was another area of intervention for the Bamenda II Council, as indicated by the Mayor.



At a time when the electricity situation in Bamenda II is begging for salvation with on and off interruptions, Mayor Pater provided pictures of what his council has done in that area.



Mayor Peter Chenwi has always indicated that the best gift to a child is education. To match words with action, he made sure the education sector felt his magnanimity as mayor by renovating classrooms, providing diadactics, benches, amongst others.









The health sector was not left out since Mayor Peter Chenwi came to office in 2020. Medical supplies were donated to Chomba, Ntambag, Azire, Alabukam, Alamandom  integrated health centers. The council also rehabilitated the Bamenda II health district, and Nchwalam health district offices.




Mayor Peter Chenwi has also been active when it comes to Social Actions. Persons with Disabilities have celebrated him for always being there for them. He provided wheel chairs,white canes, and many others to them.




For four years, Mayor Peter Chenwi took the provision of portable water  seriously. This explains why he made sure boreholes see the light of day at Ntambag, and Mowastu neighborhoods. There is another one in Nsongwa and another at the Azire integrated health center.




To better serve his community, Peter Chenwi travelled the world and signed development partnerships with some councils abroad.


His four years in office as Mayor of Bamenda II has also earned him some recognitions both at home and abroad.






Question And Answer Session With Media

Quizzed on whether the above mentioned projects were actually conceived, funded, and executed by the Bamenda II Council with him at the helm, Chenwi Peter noted that some of the projects are Public Investment Budget (BIP) projects, and that some came thanks to the council's lobbying efforts.

He sited a container loaded with medical equipment worth 400 million FCFA which is on its way to the people of his municipality, and a Tractor from Toronto.

On why many roads in Bamenda II are still in a bad shape, and crying for mercy at a time when the council boosts of an equipment pool, Mayor Peter Chenwi said

"Those areas where we wanted to do road maintenance works are not safe. We couldn't send equipment there because of insecurity, reason why we worked with quarter heads in order to drive the road maintenance works ahead."

Another area of interest for the Media men, and women was the work that the Bamenda II Council carried out in the compound of CRTV Bamenda, given that it's found in Bamenda I Council which also has a Mayor. 

The question was why such was not done for a radio station in Bamenda II, the Mayor's own municipality given that many radio stations there are barely struggling to survive? Read him:

" CRTV is for the entire North West Region, it's owned by the state, and all the mayors in this region are supposed to support CRTV. The Station Manager appealed for support, most of the mayors ran away for reasons I don't know. Because of what CRTV has done for me, I couldn't help but support."

It's now left on the population to say how these projects have actually impacted their lives, and whether what was given to them is what they really need.

Created in 2007, the Bamenda II Council was under the management of the Social Democratic Front SDF political party.

Power changed hands in 2020 when the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement CPDM kicked out the SDF.
