Agir-Act, the movement he created, made it known in a press release published on August 22, 2021.
Died on August 08, 2021 in Canada, Christian Penda Ekoka will be taken to his last home on August 28. Agir-Act, the movement that the late economist created, indicates in a statement published this Sunday that the former adviser to President Paul Biya will be buried in strict family privacy, at the end of a week of “celebration of his life” .
The biological and political family of the former president of the ACT-AGIR Movement does not wish to see the activists of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement (MRC) at the funeral of their leader. They accuse Maurice Kamto of not having spared Christian Penda Ekoka from the lynchings orchestrated by activists and sympathizers of his party.
“As many of you know, the last moments of our President’s life were marked by an extremely violent, unhealthy and unjust cabal orchestrated by members and supporters of his political ally. This episode deeply hurt CPE (Christian Penda Ekoka, Editor’s note) who was surprised at the silence of this ally. Taking note of this situation, the Agir-Act movement, in perfect solidarity with the family of our late president, asks the authors and actors of this abject cabal, in the name of decency, dignity and above all respect for the memory of the illustrious disappeared, to refrain from any participation in the various ceremonies organized on the occasion of this great loss. This will prevent any slippage and allow all our energy to be devoted to paying homage to Christian Penda Ekoka whose life deserves to be celebrated with peace of mind, “writes Yap Boum II, vice-president of Agir-Act.
The two friends of yesterday were cold because of the management of the Operation Survie Cameroon initiated by Maurice Kamto and executed by Ekoka. A gap of 300,000 euros was the bone of contention. And yet in his tributes Maurice Kamto had recognized the excellent work of his ally.
“In the absurd adversity created and maintained by the regime in place in Cameroon, Mr. Christian PENDA EKOKA successfully led the unprecedented humanitarian operation, Survie-Cameroon Survival Initiative (SCSI), which was deployed throughout of the national territory to bring aid to the Cameroonian populations abandoned to themselves in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic ”, declared Kamto.

COMMUNIQUÉ OFFICIEL ACT-AGIR
Monsieur Christian Penda Ekoka (CPE pour l’opinion publique), Président du mouvement Agir-Act s’en est allé le 8 août dernier, des suites de maladie, au Canada.
Depuis cette terrible nouvelle, vous avez été nombreux à transmettre des messages de condoléances sincères, de sympathie ou de compassion, témoignant ainsi l’attachement, l’amitié, la fraternité, la considération ou simplement le respect que vous aviez pour ce grand patriote Camerounais qui, des décennies durant, a oeuvré pour la construction d’un meilleur Cameroun. Au nom du mouvement AGIR ACT et de la famille de notre regretté Président CPE, nous vous remercions de tout cœur.
Cette semaine que nous entamons sera dédiée à la célébration de sa vie et se clôturera par son enterrement le 28 Août 2021 dans la stricte intimité familiale. Comme vous pouvez l’imaginer, ce sont des moments particulièrement douloureux pour la famille, l’ensemble du mouvement AGIR ainsi que pour les centaines de milliers de sympathisants pour qui CPE symbolisait l’espoir d’un Cameroun différent qui offre à chaque citoyen un avenir radieux ou au minimum l’espoir d’une vie meilleure.
Comme vous êtes nombreux à le savoir, les derniers moments de vie de notre Président ont été marqués par une cabale extrêmement violente, malsaine et injuste orchestrée par des membres et sympathisants de son allié politique. Cet épisode a profondément meurtri CPE qui s’est étonné du silence de cet allier. Prenant acte de cette situation, le mouvement Agir-Act, en parfaite solidarité avec la famille de notre regretté Président, prie les auteurs et acteurs de cette cabale abjecte, au nom de la décence, de la dignité et surtout du respect de la mémoire de l’illustre disparu, de s’abstenir de toute participation aux différentes cérémonies organisées à l’occasion de cette grande perte.
Ceci évitera tout dérapage et permettra de consacrer toute notre énergie à rendre un hommage à Christian Penda Ekoka dont la vie mérite d’être célébrée en toute sérénité.
Pr. Yap Boum II
Vice Président d’AGIR-ACT
