One of the challenges the newly elected executives of basic organs are expected to overcome is the social development of militants.
It is said that one who has to undertake a journey of several miles prepares ahead of time. Once installed, executives of CPDM basic organs will embark on such a journey that will last five years and there is no doubt that the terrain will have its fair share of highs and lows. It is now time to get down to business, make plans for goals that must be attained by the time the mandate clock stops ticking. With the fundamental aim of the CPDM as stated in its Charter being to work for the advent of a renovated Cameroon, expectations are therefore high. The men and women on whom militants have either bestowed or renewed confidence in are now bound to fulfil promises in line with the missions of the Party.
The executives must bear in mind that the social development of militants is an essential factor for mobilizing the State and the Party for implementing a policy of greater social justice and embracing the contributions of modernity. In this regard he Party lays emphasis on the training of men especially in the scientific and technical fields as stated in article 24 paragraph 1 of the Charter. Since its inception, the CPDM has always given importance to the wellbeing of Cameroonians through the construction of health, educational and sports infrastructure. With this in mind, executives in their diverse capacities need to contribute ideas towards making the Party succeed in the social domain by lending constant support and being themselves initiators of projects in this light.
The CPDM is well structured with the CPDM, WCPDM and YCPDM all known to collaborate to give the Party the credibility it deserves. Executives coming into office therefore have the responsibility to continue improving the standards of living in the urban and rural areas within the framework of village communities especially through projects to supply water and electricity, some of the basic social amenities needed by the population. With Cameroon scaling the ladder to emergence, the grass root leaders should know better than to take the National President, Paul Biya’s aspirations for granted. As men, women and youths who live the realities of the common man, they must commit to nurture projects to improve towns and cities as this is prerequisite for the country’s overall development.
