Good Governance At All Cost!

At a time when the world’s economy is grappling to stand amidst growing challenges, no country can afford to waste resources that are increasingly becoming scarce. President Paul Biya holds firm the view that only good governance can harness the limited resources to realise big dreams for the present and future generations.
In effect, in his 2021 end-of-year State-of-the-Nation’s address on December 31, the Head of State was unequivocal. Those who mistake the public wallet for their private pockets will not escape the heavy arm of the law.  Cameroonians are certainly aware of President Paul Biya’s unwavering fight against the vices of corruption and embezzlement of public funds.

It is therefore inconceivable that such hard-earned resources are siphoned thereafter into private pockets leaving the life-changing projects for which the money is borrowed to beg for execution while the beneficial population continue to wallow in lack and underdevelopment. 
Cameroonians need roads, hospitals, schools, potable water, electricity and other facilities to make life worth living. That a vote holder would take money meant for these to construct villas, stock his numerous compounds with fleets of expensive cars or may be hoard the money at home, only tells of selfishness which the Head of State strongly decries. Reducing the country to a cake where those in authority; implying they have the knife to go away with as much slice as ...
