The national assembly is in mourning. The honorable Mamouda Ali Lariski is dead. The elected deputy for the Bénoué-Ouest constituency left in the early hours of January 16, 2024, for India following illness, we learned from sources close to the family in Garoua. The man who was serving his third term in the National Assembly will not see it through. He who, shaken inside the Democratic gathering of the Cameroonian people (Rdpc) his party as part of the investitures in 2020, had promised that this mandate would be the last in the Lower House of Parliament. “The National Assembly is the only school where when you attend, you often want to repeat the class and return to the same benches “, he had pleaded at the time, in a comical tone. Before promising that he will give way to others. “ More seriously, I would like to thank everyone who supports me on a daily basis and I fully intend to run for one last term in parliament, God willing, to complete my social project.», He declared Lariski during a donation ceremony counting for the realization of parliamentary micro-projects in Mayo-Hourna, in June 2019, reports Innocent Blaise Youdajournalist on duty at the office of The eye of the sahelin Garoua.
This is because the man had planned his investments as a deputy: “CAs I have always emphasized, my first mandate was essentially devoted to actions to promote education, and the second mandate was essentially devoted to actions to promote health. During the ceremony of handing over a donation of health materials and medicines to the Ngong district health center on May 26, 2018, I announced that this was the last parliamentary micro-project of my second term, especially since I had toured the nine districts of my electoral constituency… God willing, we will have the opportunity during this third term, to complete our action with a view to contributing modestly to improving the living conditions of the populations», envisioned the elected official on this occasion of giving donations. The man will not complete his investments with his voters, carried away by destiny.
It is an activist from the very beginning that the Rdpc is losing. Mamouda Ali Lariski took his party card on March 24, 1985, in June of the same year. Since then, he has never left the ranks of the ruling party. And yet he had to wait twelve years to benefit from the trust of the party leaders. Indeed, it was in 1997 that the Central Committee of the Rdpc entrusted Mamouda Ali Lariski with the responsibility of the party’s mission manager in Benue during the presidential election of that year. Mission that man will fulfill with satisfaction. Since then, the grassroots activist had acquired his rights in the circle of men who count within the ruling party. But it was in 2007 that he was elected deputy for the first time, at the same time as he joined the municipal council in the commune of Garoua 1er.
