Electrification or "Ghost Project"? PPRD Contract Under Fire as Deadline Hits ⚡🚨
MENCHUM DIVISION – As the calendar turns to the end of December 2025, the residents of Fungom, Weh, and Wada axis are asking one question: Where is the light? On August 1st, 2025, the Presidential Plan for the Reconstruction and Development (PPRD) awarded a massive 224,924,628 FCFA phase 1 contract to Ltd for a high-priority electrification network. With a strict 4-month ex*****on window, the project should be completed today. Instead, it has become a lightning rod for concerns over how public money is being spent in the North West.
Findings made by Aghem Daily News into Twinlex Ltd reveals a startling business profile. Far from being an engineering powerhouse, the company owned by Kongnyu Paul Jato appears to be a trade entity focused on:
• Selling: Ginger, cocoa, onions, coffee, and cotton.
• Buying: Fertilizer, spaghetti, baking flour, and used household items.
The public is now asking: How does a company that trades in onions and used cars qualify to build a complex high-voltage electricity network? Does "Twinlex Ltd" have the certified electrical engineers, specialized equipment, or the technical safety record required for a 224 million FCFA infrastructure project?
The contract was awarded via an "Emergency Procedure." While the PPRD claims this accelerates development in conflict zones, critics argue it serves as a "backdoor" to bypass rigorous vetting. By avoiding open competitive tenders, the government risks handing sensitive infrastructure to less qualified companies, potentially linked to political patronage.
Building a functional grid across three localities in just 120 days is a feat for specialists. For a company with no visible track record in heavy energy infrastructure, the risk is high:
- Will the poles stand but the wires remain dead?
- Are we seeing the same "shoddy work" that has plagued other emergency contracts?
- Infrastructure built by non-specialists poses a direct fire and electrocution risk to the community.
The PPRD and the steering committee led by Minister Paul Tasong must provide the public with a technical audit of this project. Transparency is not an "option"—it is the only way to ensure that the 224 million FCFA meant for the people of Menchum hasn't simply vanished into a "paper project."
