Yaounde: Biya's computers (PB) arrive CameroUn as 2018 presidential elections loom

The first consignment consisting of 40.000 laptops of President Biya's promised computers arrived Yaounde Nsimalen airport early this morning  Friday 22.12.2017.  A second consignment of the same number  is expected on Sunday, December 24 2017.

Mr Biya made the promise to offer 500,000 computers to students of higher institutions of learning for the 2016/2017 academic year in July 2016.

The press release read on state broadcaster Crtv adds that another 100,000 computers are being fabricated, since December 18.

The last consignment is expected latest in Juin next year, he has concluded.

Reports going round say each of the laptops carries the initials of Paul Biya's name (PB).


If proven true, it gives more credibility to allegations that the offer is a political move meant to win more support for the president, especially in the upcoming presidential election.
