Inhabitants of Kumba in Meme Division have been asking questions as to why the inter-ministerial delegation dispatched by Chief Dion Ngute, Prime Minister, Head of Government for an on-the-spot assessment of the gruesome killing and injuring of students visited and left the city without making a stop at the scene where the incident took place or hospitals where injured victims are undergoing treatment.

Surprisingly, the ministers did not also visit the Kumba District Hospital and the Presbyterian General Hospital where over ten of the students who were injured in the course of the attack are receiving treatment.
