(Business in Cameroon) - Villagers of Lolabé, a town cleared for the construction of the Kribi industrial port complex are still to be indemnified. It is the subject of a correspondent they addressed to the Kribi Deep seaport pilot committee chair, Louis Paul Motaze, also Secretary General at the prime minister’s office.

In the letter, Le Quotidien de L’économie quoted in its Monday edition, the villagers say after a joint meeting with the pilot committee, they were promised to be indemnified in the first trimester of 2013.

In March, country’s premier, Philemon Yang assured MPs of the lower house that the payments would start immediately.

A forth night ago, the coordinator of the kribi industrial port complex, Patrice Melom reiterated on a private TV channel, Canal 2 that the victims would be paid soon.

Faced with uncertainty, the victims in the letter promised to carry out a peaceful demonstration by the end of the month if nothing is said about their money. In response to the tension, a crisis meeting was planned at the port site on Monday.
