Conflict erupted between Mayor of Bafang, Pierre Kwémo, and prefect of Haut-Nkam, Gabriel Essoa Eloi. The two are said to have been engaged in a conflict over the budget for 2015 for the town, Bafang.

Pierre Kwémo accused Eloi of refusing to receive the documents of the 2015 budget for Bafang on November 28, 2014 after the Head of the mail services to the prefecture estimated that the time limit was exceeded.

Thus the Mayor on Saturday, November 29, 2014, besieged the prefecture and forced Gabriel Eloi to release the budget documents of the town of Bafang for 2015 which was estimated at 1, 400, 000, 000 Cfa francs. According to Kwémo, Gabriel Essoa wanted to trap him so that he will face sanction, which is rendered to the municipalities that delayed in publishing their budget.

The services of the prefecture accused the Mayor Kwemo of not having the budget documents at the disposal of municipal councilors two weeks prior to their assemble.

According to them, the budget has got nothing to do with authenticity. They also stated that several institutions have called the Mayor to order because of his management.

Since his party, the Union of Socialist movements (UMS) took control of the City Council of Bafang in November 2013, the relationship between Pierre Kwemo and Gabriel Essoa Eloi has constantly been strained.
