00:00Bonjour à toutes et à tous. Le JT bilingue de midi de ce 8 juillet 2024. Merci de vous
00:20informer sur nos antennes. Yoti Kallé-Lissonguet, bonjour.
00:23Good afternoon, Frank.
00:24You have the headlines of the news.
00:26Exactly. Cameroon's socio-political climate ahead of the 2025 elections comes under scrutiny
00:34at an extraordinary cabinet meeting this Monday, chaired by the Prime Minister and Head of
00:39Government Joseph Diangute.
00:42The dangers of plastic pollution, especially to human health and the green ecosystem, re-echo
00:47as the city of Douala grapples with tons of plastic waste management, while the government
00:53stance on the use of non-biodegradable plastics remains unchanged.
00:58And this midday, we go climbing Mount Lea in Baku, Uppankham Division of the West Region,
01:05a natural endowment known for its spirituality, a veritable meditation site that gives a pleasant
01:12outlook of the landscape from the summit.
01:15These and more, right ahead.
01:17Frank, without further ado, we head straight away to the Star Building.
01:21Indeed, we head straight to the Star Building to hear the echoes of the extraordinary cabinet
01:29council that is taking place right now.
01:32The government is meeting around the Prime Minister, Head of Government Joseph Diangute.
01:38On the agenda, the socio-political climate in the perspective of the next elections.
01:44So let's find out a little more from our reporter at the Star Building, Laurentine Boccono.
01:52You said it, it's a first here at the Star Building to see the government holding
01:58an extraordinary session of the cabinet council.
02:01We are on Monday.
02:02First element of the response, the electoral calendar.
02:06Several election mandates will end in the course of 2025.
02:10Given the unfavorable economic constraints and those related to the organization of
02:15the various routines, it is necessary to extend certain mandates.
02:19Second element of the response, it is the very first time that the government is consulted
02:23to see how to readjust this electoral calendar.
02:27As we know, the mandate of the municipal councillors will end on February 18, 2025.
02:33That of the deputies, on March 10, 2025.
02:36On the 7th, on November 6, 2025.
02:38And finally, the regional councillors, on December 22, 2025.
02:43However, only the mandates of the municipal councillors and deputies can be extended
02:47or extended according to the legal provisions in force.
02:51On all these details, the Prime Minister, the head of the government, Joseph Dionne-Goutet,
02:55under the very high instruction of the President of the Republic, His Excellency Paul Biya,
02:59has gathered his team since this morning to discuss the socio-political situation
03:05in the perspective of the upcoming holding of these various routines, marked by the
03:09decision of the President of the Republic to extend certain mandates.
03:14We will come back to this in more detail at the end of the work here at the Étoile
03:19of Jocigne.
03:20Laurentine Bocono, C.R.T.V.
03:24Thank you, Laurentine.
03:25From the Étoile of Jocigne to the Parliament, where an intense activity is taking place
03:29as well.
03:30The Finance and Budget Commission has validated the bill for the ratification of the Budget
03:35Ordinance of June 20, 2024.
03:38The government's clarifications have been provided by the Minister of Finance, Paul
03:43Montazeux.
03:44At the Constitutional Law Commission, we welcomed the Minister-Delegate to the Presidency in
03:50charge of relations with the Assemblies, François-Bolvine Ouakata.
03:54At the heart of the exchanges, the bill, however, extends the mandate of the deputies.
03:59Pulcheriaté.
04:00The ordinance, submitted to the appreciation of the members of the Finance and Budget Commission,
04:08modifies and completes certain provisions of the Finance Law of 2024.
04:13This bill revises the state budget in the course of execution.
04:18In a concern for transparency and truth, the head of state wanted the budget that was
04:27voted on and that has undergone substantial changes to be corrected.
04:34The first substantial modification is that the budget increases.
04:39Some recipes have increased.
04:41We have lost a little oil recipe.
04:44On the other hand, we have other recipes in terms of plates, taxes, customs.
04:49The recipes are increasing compared to our own forecasts.
04:53This means that our collaborators have worked very well and I congratulate them.
04:57A little later in the evening, the Minister-Delegate to the Presidency in charge of relations with
05:02the Assemblies, defended in front of the Commission of Constitutional Laws the bill
05:08extending the mandate of the deputies.
05:11This bill translates the will of the President of the Republic to lighten the electoral calendar
05:19for the year 2025.
05:21For a country like Cameroon, organizing four elections in the same year represents a
05:30considerable challenge.
05:31The mandate of the deputies to the National Assembly extends now until March 2026.
07:01the
07:17has been very brief.
07:18We shall bring you more details as the day unfolds.
07:21This is Christian Chieratam signing out from the Star Building.
07:26Thanks very much Christian Chieratam.
07:28Let's now talk about the growing phenomenon of poor plastic waste management.
07:34The city of Douala, Cameroon's economic capital alone, produces close to 4,000 tons of plastic
07:41waste accounting for about two-thirds of the national estimate.
07:45The statistics made available by the Ministry of the Environment, Nature Protection and
07:51Sustainable Development discloses just how much the nation is grappling with plastic
07:57waste pollution.
07:58Our chief Fize has a snapshot of the situation in Douala.
08:03The streets of Douala are often littered with plastic bags, bottles and packaging contributing
08:12significantly to the city's waste problem.
08:15The impact of plastic waste on the environment is profound.
08:20Plastic debris clogs drainage systems leading to flooding during the rainy season.
08:25I think the population has to be educated on how to manage their waste product.
08:31To maybe distribute the trash cans from the schools to public areas, hospitals and the rest.
08:38On the occasion of the International Plastic Bag Free Day, the Ministry of Environment,
08:44Nature Protection and Sustainable Development has released alarming figures.
08:49Douala, a bustling metropolis, produces nearly 4,000 tons of plastic waste which
08:55is a third of the national estimate for over 6,000 tons.
09:00For the plastic waste production per year in the city of Douala, ACWA, the Commercial
09:05and Administrative Hub, generates 1,000 tons of plastic waste from packaging and fast food.
09:13The industrial zone of Bassa produces 800 tons, largely from households and factories.
09:20Bonaberry, the industrial and port zone, produces 700 tons, 1,500 tons of plastic waste from
09:29households and businesses are produced by the rest of the city.
09:35The Douala City Council has pledged to support recycling enterprises.
09:39The Council aims to reducing the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills and the environment.
10:09The Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development has pledged to
10:18support recycling enterprises to reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills
10:24and the environment.
10:25The Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development has pledged to
10:31support recycling enterprises to reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills
10:39and the environment.
10:40The Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development has pledged to
10:44support recycling enterprises to reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills
10:48and the environment.
10:49The Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development has pledged to
10:53support recycling enterprises to reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills
10:58and the environment.
10:59The Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development has pledged to
11:03support recycling enterprises to reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills
11:08The plastic waste that ends up in landfills is more than 60 microns.
11:13Anything that is less than that is forbidden.
11:21A requirement that, according to environmental experts, would facilitate the recycling of
11:30this matter.
11:31An aspect also taken into account in the waste stock has a course of implementation
11:36at the Ministry of Environment and which could contribute to resolving this problem.
11:41We are going to give a second life to waste in general.
11:46We are going to say that we can recycle.
11:49We can recycle in several ways.
11:52The waste collectors can sell this waste now.
11:56That is to say, they just have to sort it.
11:58If they sort it, you see, the people who are with the plastic bottles, they sort it
12:02and then they can go and sell it.
12:05This is the notion of the stock exchange, the notion of the circular economy.
12:09They can sell it, make money and leave.
12:13We are going to give a second life to plastic waste, but rather turn to alternatives
12:18to limit the use of these pollutants from the environment.
12:24Experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency form the management of crime scenes
12:30involving the presence of nuclear materials or other radioactive substances.
12:36It is in favor of a workshop organized with the collaboration of the National Radio Protection Agency.
12:42The participants come from Cameroon, the Ivory Coast, the Central African Republic
12:47and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
12:50The works held at the Montfébet Hotel were launched by the Secretary-General
12:55of the Ministry of Scientific Research and Technological Innovation,
12:59Professor Rebecca Madeleine Ebele.
13:05I now invite you to discover a fresco of modern society.
13:11This is the work of Gustave Mbine, with his work entitled
13:15« Au lens, à ciel ouvert, un miroir des tarts actuels,
13:19malgouvernance, trafic d'influence, corruption et d'autres tableaux noirs ».
13:24The book has been dedicated to the French Institute of Cameroon.
13:28Joel-Igor Abanda.
13:32The book « Au lens, à ciel ouvert », whose dedication is repeated here,
13:35at the French Institute of Cameroon,
13:37transports us into a saga of rocambolesque history,
13:39of malgovernance, of influence trafficking,
13:42of corridors, of mystery, of faith.
13:44A game of power, but also and above all, of love and money.
13:48A journey of the topography of the Aifonda miners.
13:52It is a work that calls on the young African generation
13:55to take an interest in the problems of the African subsoil,
13:59more precisely in the exploitation of this subsoil.
14:02We also find the rejection of public affairs.
14:06It is an easy-to-publish author,
14:07but it was the bottom of the story that was very interesting.
14:09It is the first volume of a trilogy called « Au lens »,
14:12an adaptation of a cinematographic production
14:15that is still waiting for funding.
14:17It is our participation in the development,
14:21but through the incitement of the rulers
14:27to think about the exploitation of the miners
14:31and to give a real blow to make things move forward.
14:36This literary work of 330 pages
14:38was published in the Arterial editions.
14:40It is the third literary work produced
14:42by the writer Gustave Mbine
14:44after the novel « Les manies, fautres et couleurs d'Afrique » in 2004
14:48and « Bipanda Blues, couleurs barons » published in 2014.
15:05It is the fifth edition of « Vacances Informatiques »
15:08that loosely translates into « I-City Holidays ».
15:11The aim is to hone their skills in information and communication technologies
15:16as well as share tips on cyber security.
15:19Our West Regional correspondent Isaac Ngonkum tells us more.
15:25The population of Balengu in Basel subdivision,
15:28the division of the West Region,
15:30in ecstasy this Saturday, July 6,
15:33marked the official launch of « Vacances Informatiques » in the area.
15:36Through diverse songs, poems and dance steps,
15:39parents and learners expressed gratitude to the donors,
15:42Hon. Rev. Angeline Jacqueline Chania and Hon. Jean-Claude Fete,
15:46alongside their partners,
15:48for connecting Basel to the rest of the world
15:50through knowledge of information and communication technologies.
15:54For this five-year term,
15:56I have learned so many things,
15:58such as Excel, how to type,
16:00how to calculate,
16:02how to use Excel and Microsoft Word.
16:04I want to say thank you to Hon. Chania Jacqueline.
16:07I will do my best to work hard in this edition.
16:10Administrative officials and elite of the subdivision
16:13are not indifferent to the innovations.
16:16We think that it is a very good project
16:18and we encourage their promises to continue.
16:21We do appreciate the initiative of the members of parliament
16:28to train our children in this computer science.
16:32For six weeks, participants will be edified
16:35on cyber security, artificial intelligence,
16:38the English language, their mother tongue and culinary arts.
16:42The fifth edition is placed under the patronage
16:44of the Minister of Post and Telecommunications,
16:47Minette Libom-Lili-King.
16:50We are privileged to have on set a man
16:53who has trained various calibers of individuals
16:56from congressmen to businessmen, laymen and the clergy.
17:00One would think his mantra is
17:02everything rises and falls on leadership.
17:04And today he will tell us just how true this assertion is.
17:08I'm talking about Dr. Madison Gaffeson.
17:10For those of you who don't know him,
17:12he is a business professor,
17:14an executive trainer and a leadership consultant.
17:17Good afternoon, Dr. Gaffeson.
17:19Thank you. I'm glad to be here.
17:21One word piques our interest today and that is leadership.
17:25Perhaps you'd begin by defining who a leader is, given the context.
17:29So, leadership has been defined by my mentor,
17:33John Maxwell, as influence.
17:36So, the ability for you to influence yourself and others
17:40to move from point A to point B
17:42is usually positive influence.
17:45It's defined as leadership.
17:47And leadership matters is the theme you're anchoring
17:50the International Leadership Summit,
17:52which begins this July 11th at the Yaoundé Conference Center,
17:56based on the program topics that we feature,
17:59AI and leadership, as well as leading ladies conclave.
18:03Now, these two have retained our attention.
18:06What is the inspiration?
18:08So, the title is Your Leadership Matters
18:11because when it comes to leadership,
18:13every time you say leadership,
18:14somebody is looking up to another person
18:16somewhere in some blue sky
18:18who will come and do something for them.
18:20But we are saying that your leadership matters
18:22in your personal life.
18:23It is you who makes the decision every morning
18:25whether you go to work or not.
18:26It's you who makes the decision
18:27whether you want to eat or not.
18:29So, you are acting in a leadership position
18:33in your life at the least.
18:35You are leading yourself,
18:36but then you also become, you are part of a family.
18:39You also lead in your family.
18:40You also lead your career,
18:42whether you go to the promotion ranks
18:44or you stay at the bottom, it depends on you.
18:46So, sometimes we don't look at those decisions
18:49that we make every day
18:50that is really leadership decisions
18:52and we just kind of look at somebody
18:54who has a title of a president
18:56or somebody who has a director position
18:58to be the leader.
18:59Meanwhile, you and me are all leaders.
19:02So, in other words,
19:03you're saying a change in mindset is very necessary.
19:06Exactly. Change in mindset.
19:08That's why we're saying you might be a woman,
19:10but you'll be a leader
19:11because you have your life to lead.
19:13You have your children to lead.
19:14You have the community or the workplace
19:16that you are leading.
19:17So, everybody has to look at themselves
19:19from a new lens.
19:20I can influence people.
19:22Therefore, I am a leader.
19:25Considering your rich background
19:27and academic portfolio,
19:29if we were to project into leadership in Africa,
19:32what's your take?
19:33You see, like we said,
19:35everything rises and falls on leadership.
19:37And I think that the greatest problem of Africa
19:41is leadership
19:42because it's not that we lack the resources.
19:45We sit on one-fifth of all of the world's resources.
19:48But we are the least when it comes to economics.
19:51So, like Chinio Achebe said,
19:53when the center cannot hold,
19:55things fall apart.
19:56Leadership is that center
19:58that holds everything together
20:00and makes the community work.
20:02So, if Africa can enhance leadership,
20:05we will be the number one continent in the world.
20:09And definitely, Cameroon will be a great nation,
20:12even in Africa and the rest of the world.
20:15So, Dr. Gafisson,
20:16you live in the United States.
20:18You teach, in particular,
20:19in American universities.
20:21Is there a different approach
20:23to apprehend the notion of leadership
20:26when we evolve in the Cameroonian context
20:29where we have our realities?
20:31Some people say
20:33that it is not easy
20:35to move the lines here in the country.
20:38Indeed,
20:40we think that leadership
20:42is having a title,
20:44a position.
20:46But leadership is the influence,
20:49so the ability
20:51to influence someone else.
20:55That's leadership.
20:57Because I think that
20:59if you are a child,
21:00you are a leader
21:01because you still guide yourself,
21:04you give yourself instructions.
21:07So, you have to change this mentality
21:10that we always think
21:12that the leader is what is
21:14general diversity,
21:16what is this or that person.
21:19We have to think about
21:22the subject of leadership,
21:24that it concerns everyone
21:26and that everyone can be a leader.
21:29You made a change of mentality, globally.
21:31That's exactly it.
21:33Absolutely.
21:34Dr. Gafisson,
21:35thank you so much for the opportunity
21:37to pick from your brain.
21:38If you want to know
21:39how to become a great leader,
21:40the Yaoundé Conference Centre
21:42is the place to be
21:43from the 11th to the 13th of this month.
21:46Franck, time for us
21:47to talk something else
21:48in this newscast.
21:49Indeed,
21:50the following of the news
21:51with this gesture from the heart
21:52of the Bakundi community
21:54of Yaoundé,
21:55uniforms offered to the
21:57Ngemeni and Ngameni choir,
22:00an opportunity for the representative
22:03of the King of Bakundi
22:05to call for unity
22:07and social cohesion.
22:09Here is the report
22:10of Sylvie Nbia.
22:19The Bakundi community
22:21was in fact this Saturday in Yaoundé.
22:23A ceremony of giving back
22:25of the uniforms to the choir
22:27was organized
22:29by the dignitaries of this village
22:31under the auspices of the King of Bakundi
22:33represented.
22:34In our community,
22:35there are at least 8 structures
22:37and the choir is there
22:39to put the atmosphere
22:40within the community.
22:42The Ngemeni choir,
22:45which was born in 1982,
22:48was given its second uniform
22:51after 20 years.
22:52An opportunity to give back
22:54thanks to God.
22:55I estimate that
22:56if God blessed me a little,
22:58I must also think of my brothers.
23:00God gives to those
23:01who can give others.
23:03It also benefits
23:05from a newly installed marae
23:07which calls for young people.
23:09I would like to advise young people,
23:12to advise young people,
23:14to see that there are ministers
23:16who cannot really
23:18go into an environment
23:20like this one,
23:21like ours,
23:22in the choir,
23:23to register,
23:25to sing
23:26or to forget our worries.
23:28It is on a folkloric atmosphere
23:31that this ceremony is completed.
23:37In the 12 o'clock magazine page,
23:39a pedestrian hike
23:41to allow you
23:42to take the open air.
23:44Forbidden travel
23:45for those with altitude sickness.
23:47We will go to the top of Mount Lea de Baku
23:50in the Ongkam region of the West.
23:52A picturesque landscape,
23:54but also mysterious,
23:56frequented by many pilgrims
23:58in search of an environment
24:00suitable for meditation.
24:02Marc-Aurel Younga is our guide.
24:05Mount Lea de Baku,
24:07which lies majestically
24:09in the background
24:10of the chapel
24:11of the parish of Saint-Pierre-et-Paul
24:13of the eponymous city,
24:14at more than 600 meters in altitude,
24:16is much more than a simple place of worship.
24:18It is a haven of peace,
24:20a oasis of spirituality
24:22that invites everyone
24:24to connect with oneself
24:26and with the universe.
24:27Mount Lea
24:29is a place of pilgrimage
24:31where Christians,
24:33every year,
24:34come to meet
24:36Saint-Pierre-et-Paul
24:37to meet the Lord.
24:39And the specificity of Mount Lea
24:41is that it is located on the mountain
24:43and it looks a bit like Mount Tabor.
24:45By walking the winding paths
24:47that lead to Mount Lea,
24:49we are carried away
24:51by the wild beauty
24:52of this magical place
24:54where nature reigns as a master
24:56and where time seems to be suspended.
24:58I came to Mount Lea
24:59to expose my problems to God
25:00and strengthen my relationship with Him.
25:02Its calm and serenity
25:04make it a place conducive
25:05to contemplation
25:07and connection with the essential.
25:09The Holy Spirit asks me
25:10to come here to pray.
25:11I got up
25:12and then I started.
25:13I paid my transportation
25:14to come here to pray
25:15and praise God.
25:16This place of pilgrimage,
25:18prayer and tourism
25:20attracts thousands of visitors every year
25:22under the supervision of the municipality
25:24which is committed
25:26to making Mount Lea
25:27an essential destination.
25:29And this is done
25:30by setting up the routes
25:32and setting up
25:33the welcoming structures
25:34to meet the needs
25:35of accommodation,
25:36pilgrims
25:37and tourists.
25:38The construction
25:39of the municipal hotel,
25:42we did not do it by chance.
25:44It is thanks to these tourist sites
25:46that we were able to target
25:48the place
25:49to place this hotel
25:51in this resting place.
25:53A beautiful local pride
25:55that shines
25:56beyond the borders
25:57of the municipality
25:58for lovers of religious tourism
26:00and cultural discoveries.
26:26It is now official
26:28Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso
26:30form Sahel Alliance
