The budget envelope was examined and then voted unanimously by the municipal councilors during an ordinary session, chaired by Mayor Dieudonné KEMENI, on Thursday, December 22, 2022 in the presence of the prefect of the Haut-Nkam department.
The budget of the municipality of Kékem for the year 2023 is a sum of the quantitative forecasts subject to reservation, at 849,985,000 FCFA (eight hundred forty-nine million nine hundred and eighty-five thousand FCFA), against 708,000,000 Frs for the year 2022 which is coming to an end, i.e. an increase of 141,985,000 CFA francsin absolute value and 16.70% in relative value
compared to the 2022 financial year.
This increase is justified by the fact that the funding received from the State has increased considerably on behalf of the 2023 budget year.

For Mayor Dieudonné KEMENI, “Mobilizing these revenues is the responsibility of all of us. To achieve our objectives, it will be enough for us to raise awareness among our taxpayers, supported by the actions of the Municipal Collector and his collection team.
From the analysis to date of the situation of recoveries, it is clear that the level is low with regard to our own resources for reasons linked to the tax incivility of certain taxpayers on the one hand and the establishment of the system online payment which is not goodmastered by the latter on the other hand.”
The operating expenses of the Kékem town hall amount to 288,725,000 FCFA, i.e. a percentage of around 33.96% for the operating expense forecasts. On the one hand, they will make it possible to support the operating costs of the town hall, in particular the payment of the salaries of municipal staff, the operation of the internal commission for the award of public contracts, the mobilization of the municipality in the organization of events ofsovereignty or solemnity...

These will make it possible to implement the PIA - the annual investment plan for the 2023 financial year, drawn up according to the vision and development policy of the mayor of the municipality of Kékem for the well-being of the populations and the influence of its jurisdiction.
