The Mayor of Bafut Ngwakongoh Lawrence, speaking to Mnews237 said "For me coming up as 2nd in project execution is a clear fact that Bafut is not a red zone. Those who keep claiming we are a red zone are enemies who are trying to blackmail Bafut and retard it's development.  From the result you can see that even those who say they're in the green zones, they're at zero. Infact we are in the greener zones than them, and by the next sitting I'm sure Bafut must have realized all it's projects"

Mayor Lawrence also noted that the projects were not just executed within central Bafut, as the projects were decentralized. 

He seized the occasion to call on stakeholders of the municipality who were dragging them behind in project execution, to sit up.

Meantime the Bamenda city council which is last as per the statistics has just two projects;

- Rehabilitation of street lights,
- Control and supervision for the rehabilitation of street light,

 to the tune of FCFA 140,000,000

Both projects have been awarded while realization is still at 0%.
