45 Fcfa minimum stolen from consumers every second

This is the observation made since July 8, 2014, in the aftermath of the signing of Ordinance No. 2014/001 July 7, 2014 by the head of State re-fixing the rate of the special tax on petroleum products.

This issue placed at the centre of discussions of the 2nd session of the consultation and social dialogue follow-up Committee has not experienced one of the worst state yet a decision to decline in price at the pump.

If the prepared figures currently are based on the 365 days in a regular year, the State steals through this mechanism the approximate sum of 1,419,120,000 Fcfa from consumers of fuel at the pump.

To better understand the entourloupe, a first reference is made on a document provided by the HSPC dating from 1 to 31 August 2006 in which the special tax on per litre of Super is 120 CFA francs, for oil - 29.41 per litre and diesel 65 Fcfa.

After the first grumbling of workers who will come down on the ground to check the taxation applied to fuel, another document dating from the 1st to June 30, 2012 will be issued by the HSPC this time special tax wording that will include in its midst 120 CFA francs from a litre of Super and 65 CFA francs per litre of diesel fuel; the grant of oil having disappeared.

This levy still decried by the population, saw a readjustment after the official increase in the price of fuel at the pump by Louis Paul Motaze.

Cameroon is doing financially bad and the only argument restated all day by the Government and its means seems to be the preservation of peace. A fragile peace against a people ravaged by famine and the mis-governance!

If the moment of truth appears to have come, the best trick of the current governing system would be the concern first to satisfy the Cameroonians first destroyer of external or exogenous attacks for their overthrow, decisions that must be taken with steps responsibility and without interest.
