Party, Contribution Cards will determine true Militancy in the CPDM-Hon. Waingeh
The
Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement, CPDM, party through the Central Committee
has since the 14th of November 2014 engaged a nationwide campaign to
identify its militants at the base through the sale of party and contribution
cards. The exercise which is taking place on the eve of reorganisation of CPDM
party basic organs due for 2015 has met with diverse opinions and views from
some militants of the party. In the four sections of the party in Boyo
division, officials have been working through the sub sections, branches and
cells to get party militants identified.
Hon. Ndim
Albert Waingeh alternate Central Committee member to Boyo says the move by the
party to identify its militants through the sale of cards will present a true
picture of the party’s militancy at the base.
Talking
to Boyo Eye, he did not agree with some opinions that this exercise will scare
away militants. Rather, Hon. Waingeh stated clearly that militants have to
contribute for the up keep of the party and did not see any reason why a true
CPDMmilitant will leave the party because they have been asked to buy party and
contribution cards. Hear him” I think that it will scare away those who have
been double dealing, which is just correct to say that if there are people who
have been wearing one party inside and wearing another one on top, they will be
scared away because of the contributions that are being asked for, and I have no
doubt that the Central Committee has this in mind that there are people who in
the morning are in one party, in the afternoon they are in another and yet in
another in the evening. So when it comes to showing proof of their membership
by contributing and they are scared, then it shows who they are”.
Hon.
Waingeh none the less, said the outcome of the exercise in the Boyo III Section
in Fundong may not really reflect the results of the 2013 municipal elections
won by the CPDM, accepting the fact that some of those who voted for the party
were sympathisers and militants of the SDF who were disgruntled with the output
of those at the helm of the council at the time.
“Democracy
does not say vote for my party but rather vote for the person who can deliver.
If we find out that we have 1000 true CPDM militants and 2000 persons voted for
our party during the 2013 elections, that just shows how convincing our
candidates were. We are not obliging anyone who voted for the CPDM to come and
buy party cards, because you must not belong to a party before you vote a party
person into a position” Hon. Waingeh intimated.
He appealed
to all CPDM militants in all the four sections to come out massively to buy the
party and contribution cards. Party cards sell at 500FCFA, while contribution
cards sell at 500FCA for women and youths, 1000FCFA for men and 500.000FCFA for
honorary militants.
