The president of CPDM Meme 1A section, Prince Ekale Mukete has decried the sale of counterfeit CPDM party cards in Meme Division, especially in the Kumba metropolis.

Prince Ekale who is also the former mayor of the Kumba I council says the illegal sale of the CPDM party cards of doubtful quality and origin could create serious problems and confusion for the party in Meme during the reorganization of the basic organs of the party.

Prince Ekale Mukete noted further that the parallel sale of party cards by some misguided CPDM followers is in violation to the instructions of the CPDM Central Committee Scribe, Jean Kuete, that state clearly that “only section presidents shall distribute party cards and no one else.”

Though Ekale has not yet been able to trace the source of the fake cards, he however speculated that the cards might have been produced in Mutengene, a town noted for producing replicas of everything including bank notes.

Prince Ekale’s alarm could just serve as a clarion call to officials at the CPDM party secretariat in Yaounde to be wary of such malpractice which may be taking place in other sections of the party in the country.

While promising to open investigations to trace and track down the producers and sellers of fake party cards in Kumba, Prince Ekale advised CPDM supporters in Kumba to obtain their party cards only from the party secretariat, and to neglect the fake cards that have flooded the town of Kumba, especially Kumba 111.

Despite the parallel sale of cards in and around Kumba, Prince Ekale however revealed that over 1,000 cards have so far been officially sold bring to the party's coffers about FCFA 5m.
