Controversial Role of Actors Involved in the Decongestion Process of the Bamenda Urban Center in the North Western Region of Cameroon

In Cameroon, and most other sub Saharan African    cities especially the city of Bamenda in the North Western Region of Cameroon, the problem of urban transport is endemic. This is easily identified by persistent traffic jams and congestion. The anarchical installation of the informal transport sector in the city consists of large number of mini-buses, taxis and motorcycles operators that dominate the provision of public transport. In a manner, in which the disorder implantation was tolerated by administrative authorities in the name of crisis, the struggle for decongestion of the central city to re-locate transport agencies and motor-parks to re-instate order in the cityis becoming a bet-risk for the Mayors and Senior Divisional Officers (SDOs) who have to attack these groups who are well organized and ready to defend their position.  This paper expresses in controversial role of the administrative authorities that retarded the decongestion process which till today there has not been any successful decongestion of Bamenda city.
