CPP Leader Blasts CPDM: “Everything is About Violence and Corruption”

Kah Walla, the leader of the opposition Cameroon People’s Party (CPP), has strongly accused the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) of pervasive corruption and violence in the country.

“The CPP lamented that ‘the people we pay, it should be noted,’ are accompanying corrupt officials to practice more corruption. ‘Everything in CPDM-State is about violence and corruption. Waste and corruption in the fight against corruption is astounding,'” she said on X, (formerly Twitter) while tagging the Ministry of Supreme State Audit (CONSUPE), Anti-Corruption Commission (CONAC), and TCS, among others.

To her, these institutions that are supposed to fight corruption and violence, together with the regime, are “just houses for the homies. Paid for and fully financed by Cameroonian citizens.”

The CPP leader made these statements following an investigation carried out by Remis Tassing, a software developer fighting injustice.

In the investigative report, Remis Tassing uncovered that 203 civil servants are contractors in the country. The law in Cameroon forbids public servants from taking such jobs; however, it is the opposite, as heads of government institutions now award councils to themselves.

A document containing the list of 203 civil servants who now double as contractors shows workers in various ministries are the ones executing contracts for those ministries. The ministries include MINAT, MISANTE, MINJUSTICE, MINFI, MINCOM, and MINESEC, among others. One of the contractors who receives contracts from the Ministry of Public Health is Dr. Manaouda Malachie. Dr. Manaouda is the Minister of Public Health.

However, these individuals are not receiving contracts directly. The contracts are secured by companies, but Remis Tassing can prove that those behind the companies are civil servants.

“A week already, and I’m told that people get up every morning to go to work at CONSUPE, TCS, and CONAC,” Remis said because, to him, he does not understand what CONAC and CONSUPE are doing amid the corruption racketeering in the country.

Aside from ministries, the mayors of councils too have become contractors and awarded contracts to themselves.
