Cameroon: Government spends fcfa 10 billion to renovate conference centre.

 

'Wonders shall never end' in mr Biya's country. Members of his tyrannical government have embarked on a gimmick scheme known as 'rehabilitating major infrastructures' around the country, which is an official way to guarantee the swindling of state funds despite the country's present economic breakdown.

 

It is unheard of and very  disheartening for the government of Cameroon to inform public opinion that the Yaounde conference centre which has been there since 1982, has purportedly been renovated for fcfa 10 billion. An amount some critics told Cameroon Concord could even construct two other new and modern conference centres with sophisticated and up to date equipment. ...looking at this structure, does it worth the said amount for renovation? I can only see new chairs,some bulbs and a change of paint meanwhile these rubbers in white collars go on the media to lie blatantly that they have spent fcfa 10 billion to refurbish the structure. Ndi Jonas, a Yaounde based politician lamented.

 

Nonetheless, this is an old habit of the Yaounde regime reputed for multiplying bills in the phase of any major project. Recently, the local organizing committee of the female African cup of nations hosted by Cameroon last year demanded fcfa 24 billion to organise the event but ended up doing the show for less than fcfa 4 billion thanks to the watchful eyes of PM Yang after Cameroonians cried foul. Another affair breaking nerves is the sum allocated for the construction of the sixty thousand seater  Olembe stadium in Yaounde which stands at fcfa 163 billion. The same stadium is constructed in Mali,  Gabon and other countries for fcfa 26 or less than billions. Prof. Nkou Mvondo, lecturer at the University of Ngaoundere described fcfa 163 billion as 27 containers full of fcfa 10000 notes and said mr Biya and co are  ruling Cameroon as if they are the last rulers and after them, Cameroon will stop existing. This is an aberration he exclaimed. However le Cameroon c'est le Cameroon.
