    COUNCIL CREATION

    Creation Story of the Council

    Mbonge council was created as Mbonge Rural Council in 1977, by Presidential decree No.77/203 of 29th June 1977. Prior to this date, the council area was part of the “Bile council area” in the then Kumba Division. Following the new constitution of the Republic of Cameroon which brought in decentralization and more accent on local governance, Mbonge Rural Council change its appellation to Mbonge Council following the Presidential decree No. 2004/018 of July 22, 2004, which transformed all Rural/Urban councils to being mere councils.
