movement of mood of the traders!

The prefect of Mvila Sylyac Marie Mvogo met the main protagonists in the hall of acts of the town hall of Ebolowa 1st this Wednesday, June 7, 2023.

A meeting in which took part the traders at the origin of the movement of mood against the decree municipal instituting closing days for certain markets for health reasons.

Meeting initiated by the Prefect of Mvila Sylyac Marie Mvogo following the descent into the street of a compact crowd of traders eager to do battle with the municipal authority last weekend.

A decree, it must be said, followed by the opening of 02 other markets arranged with a service, public toilets and connected to electricity to allow the surplus of resellers and retailers who clutter the road to establish themselves in the merchant area d’Essinguili or market of state.

As arguments brandished by traders: “The decree of the municipal authority is illegal or even antisocial, a manifest will of the mayor of the city to drive out the tradesmen and to send them to forced unemployment”.

Moreover, this space was not intended to become a market, explains the spokesperson for traders. It is spontaneously that they settled in this place. Traders occupy privately owned shops who regularly paid their property taxes while they (the merchants) regularly paid the municipal taxes.

At the level of the Departmental Directorate of Taxes of Mvila, the final tax, the property tax, and the tax on rental income which constituted the taxes of common law were regularly paid to the town hall of the city according to a well-defined coast. will clarify Mr. Yves Ella the person in charge of this service.

What the mayor of the city Dr Daniel Edjo’o will re-specify the merits of its action as a logical follow-up to previous meetings with merchant managers. Measures aimed at relieving congestion in the city and making traffic flow because the illegal occupation of the public voice is a restriction on individual freedoms will clarify the municipal authority.

On proposal of the Prefect a framework for dialogue and permanent consultation will be established to draw up an inventory of available places and redistribute them to applicants and send those who will not have a place to the market d’Essinguili or of Eilat newly created.

The Urban Community is not the adversary of traders.

This is the argument defended by the mayor of the city Dr Daniel Edjo’o who marketed the new vision of the Urban Community of Ebolowa by inviting everyone to agree to this given, however, the measure of the closure of the markets instituting cleanliness days is lifted to bring added value to the controversial municipal act.
