Pierre Hélé (born 1946) is a Cameroonian politician, currently serving in the government of Cameroon as Minister of the Environment and the Protection of Nature. He was a member of the government from 1979 to 1984 and has again served in the government since 1997.

Political career

A member of the Mundang ethnic group, Hélé is a Catholic from the Far North Province of Cameroon and was born in Lara. He was head of the Personnel Department at the Ministry of Equipment, Housing, and Domains from 1974 to 1975 and Deputy Account Director at the Ministry of Finance from 1975 to 1977. Subsequently, he was a research officer at the Bank of Central African States from 1977 to 1979 and was appointed to the government as Deputy Minister of Finance in November 1979. Hélé was promoted to the position of Minister of National Education on 4 February 1984, but following the April 1984 coup attempt against President Paul Biya, he was dismissed from the government on 7 July 1984. He then took an administrative post at the University of Yaoundé.

Hélé returned to politics in the early 1990s, becoming a member of the National Union for Democracy and Progress (UNDP), an opposition party prominent in the north and led by Maigari Bello Bouba. He was included on the UNDP Central Committee, and at the time of the 1992 elections he worked to persuade the Mundang to vote for the UNDP. He later joined the government along with UNDP President Bello Bouba on 7 December 1997, becoming Minister of Urban Planning and Housing. Subsequently, he was moved to the post of Minister of Tourism on 18 March 2000.

Hélé left the UNDP in May 2002 and joined the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM), complaining that Bello Bouba was mismanaging the party. He remained a member of the government and was moved to the position of Minister of the Environment and the Protection of Nature on 8 December 2004.

Explaining his ministry’s 2008 draft budget—which had increased from the previous year’s budget—in the National Assembly on 27 November 2007, Hélé said that he intended to pursue measures that would deter environmental harm through fines and taxes and increase pollution control in the cities. He also said that the ministry planned to establish “a climate change watchdog”.

Shannon Tweed’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Shannon Tweed Net Worth: Shannon Tweed is a Canadian actress and model who has a net worth of $50 million. Obviously it should be noted that Shannon’s independent net worth is difficult to peg since she is married to ultra-wealthy rock star Gene Simmons. With community property her net worth could conceivably be hundreds of millions of dollars if they ever separated. Born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, in 1957, Shannon Tweed began her career as a model and appeared in several beauty pageants. She placed third at the Miss Ottawa competition in 1978 and, three years later, became a “Playboy” Playmate of the Month. She moved into the Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner for more than a year, and met her future husband, musician Gene Simmons, while at the estate. Tweed’s alleged drug use got her booted from Hefner’s mansion. She built a successful acting career, with appearances in “1st and Ten”, “Frasier” and “Days of our Lives”. Tweed has been in more than 60 movies, including “Hot Dog…The Movie”, “Detroit Rock City”, “Night Eyes 3”, and “Dead by Dawn”. She and Kiss rockstar Gene Simmons moved in together in 1983 and were married in 2011 after dating for nearly three decades. They tied the knot in front of the cameras from their reality show “Gene Simmons Family Jewels”, which ran from 2006 until 2012. Tweed and Simmons have two children together. In 2010, the Saskatoon City Council agreed to name a road after her, with the naming of Tweed Lane in Rosewood. Real Estate: In 1986, Gene bought a property in Beverly Hills for $1,327,500, which is the same as $3.1 million today after adjusting for inflation. Several years later Gene and Shannon began a 5-year construction project that cost a reported $12 million to build the current 10-bedroom, 16,500 square-foot home that was seen frequently on the family’s reality show. In October 2020 Gene and Shannon listed this mansion for sale for $22 million. Gene and Shannon are reportedly looking to sell so they can move full-time to a recently-acquired 24-acre estate near Mount Rainier in Washington.
