SDF the biggest losers in the anglophone crisis?

Before the outbreak of the Anglophone crisis in late 2016, the Social Democratic Front (SDF) controlled 23 municipal councils nationwide.The SDF's territorial control was heavily concentrated within the English-speaking regions. The party controlled 19 out of its 23 councils within NW & SW making up over 80% of its local stronghold.

The once second most powerful and popular political party in Cameroon is a shadow of its former self as it’s considered to be far off Cameroons political dominance with the rise of FSNC, MRC, PCRN and UNDP. Today, the SDF has just 5 municipal councils out of 360 nationwide under its control and only 1 in the anglophone regions which is the Bamenda 3 Council.

Popular opinion believes the downfall comes from SDF’s weak position on separat!st activities in NW&SW as they always shove away separat!st atrocit!es and blame the regime in power. These weak position, has resulted to them losing their anglophone stronghold to the CPDM.

🚨BREAKING NEWS
Government tells municipal councils and city councils they’ll no longer collect taxes!😳😳

The new reform follows a joint ministerial order signed by Louis Paul Motaze and Georges Elanga Obam. It operationalizes Law No. 2024/020 of 23 December 2024 on local taxation and places the collection of local taxes, duties, and municipal charges under the authority of the Directorate General of Taxation (DGI).

Under the new framework, municipal councils, subdivision councils, and city councils will no longer have the mandate to assess, issue, or recover local taxes and revenues. Article 13 of the implementing order formally transfers these responsibilities from local authorities and their accounting services to the State tax administration.

Rather than directly collecting revenues, councils will function through newly established Local Taxation Monitoring Units. Their role will now focus on identifying taxable persons and businesses, transmitting taxpayer information to tax authorities, supporting field operations, supervising collection activities, and producing reports on local tax performance.

Government authorities argue that the reform seeks to improve transparency, reduce leakages, increase efficiency in revenue collection, and establish uniform tax administration across the country.

For many years, councils depended largely on internally generated revenues such as market fees, advertising taxes, permits, and other local levies to fund development projects and administrative activities.

While critics argue the implementation of decentralisation is gradually becoming centralisation instead, others believe it’s a great move as this Revenue have often been siphoned by local administrators with no accountability taking municipalities back in time.
