Biya only sheltering thieves

Ever since its coming to power in 1985, the ruling Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement of the 81 years old President Paul Biya has been good only in one thing-sheltering thieves.

Biya and his CPDM acolytes are the enemies of the Cameroonian nation putting one tribe against the other and families at daggers-drawn positions. In the Center and South regions alone, Betis are at war with the Etons, the Ewondos no longer share any peaceful co-existence with the Bafias.

The South West and North West people with Commonwealth values cannot see eye-to-eye. An iron curtain separates the people of Maroua from those in Garoua. Bassas and Bamilekes are no longer in peace with their host, the Doualas. Any divider is an enemy.

President Biya and his ruling CPDM crime syndicate have ruined the Cameroonian economy by refusing to put in place structures that will enhance accountability and make corruption almost impossible. In 2014, neither the presidency nor the prime minister's office or even ministerial departments have a bank account.

President Biya, Prime Minister Yang Philemon who served as Cameroon ambassador to Canada for more than two decades and the entire Cameroon cabinet still carry money in "moukouta" bags.

This explains why Hon. Nana Simkam turned down a ministerial appointment from President Biya on grounds that he is yet to see a head of state who demands money from his finance minister in kilos. For instance he makes a telephone call to Finance Minister Akame Mfoumou and says "get me thirty kilos of ten thousand francs cfa".

The CPDM is conducting national affairs alone without the support of the Cameroonian people and it is accentuating the oppression of opponents of the regime, a policy started since 1948 by the French following the formation of the Union des Population du Cameroun (UPC). There is an urgent need for the Cameroonian people to fight harder to win back democracy and sovereignty.

The regime is working against the younger generation by closing all avenues of employment and robbing their parents of their financial benefits and at the same time preaching that the younger generation has too little for too many. The CPDM is indeed a foreigner in our Cameroonian midst and so has no place.

There is a huge debt brought on the heads of the Cameroonian people by the profligate CPDM government and all major roads in the country have been neglected. Biya and his gang have destabilized all main opposition parties with the aim of monopolizing power.

Cameroon Concord believes only the diaspora can help ease the departure of the Lion Man from the Cameroonian political scene.
