Corruption: 150 student doctors call on CONAC for action
Their complaints are about “cases of scams,” of “tampering” and “corruption” in the Cameroon Medical Colleges.
This is a subject that have been in a few weeks now in the files studied by parliamentarians. They are students at the 6th year. They wrote to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (CONAC). They also sent correspondences to the Prime Minister and some other ministries. They expressed their anger caused by malfunctions in their faculties.
The L’Etudiant newspaper Edition of April 7, 2016, says that according to sources, it all started in 2015. The case goes back to 2015 during clinical exams.
According to a student who requested anonymity, “during the clinical and therapeutic exams, we wrote on non-anonymous copies. Names, table numbers and other indicators related to the candidate were marked in pencil on the paper; the answers were also given in pencil, “says the newspaper.
In addition, students also denounced harsh and surprising facts to believe. “The names and other clues of deserving students were erased during corrections in favour of the non-deserving ones. Those who “miraculously” passed to the 7th year did not validate neither their theoretical nor clinical exams, “reports the Student.
The newspaper also brings in the columns that students say that they were asked to pay in addition to tuition fees, the sum of FCFA one million during oral promotion examinations to year 7.
We learn from the newspaper that on the 20, 21 and 28 October 2015, students sent correspondence to Jacques Fame Ndongo, André Mama Fouda and Laurent Esso.
On November 11, 2015, they sent another to the President of the National Anti-Corruption Commission. Today, they turn to the First Lady Chantal Biya and parliamentarians.
