The Cameroonian political opponent reacts in response to economic measures taken by Paul Biya after the events of February 2008. Meyomesse for the Cameroonian president prepares people for early presidential elections. In an interview with the editorial camer.be, Meyomesse called his countrymen to be vigilant so that the 1992 scenario will not happen again.
Enoh Meyomesse, relatives of Paul Biya Etoudi explain that prepared the revaluation of wages in the public service for over a year. Do you still believe in the thesis of a brilliant action of the Head of State of Cameroon? I said
it's about increasing public spending. We shall not repeat the false claims of propagandists of the regime and that Paul Biya had given "strict instructions", a year ago, so that steps be taken to improve the living conditions of Cameroonians and as always, by chance, his "entourage" that would have sabotaged. When a father of 75 years continues to be fooled by his entourage, even if this is true, there is a problem ...
What problem and where is he?
15% increase on wages and 20% for the housing allowance. Which is OK, as the Minister of Finance financial effect of 8 billion francs CFA per month, or 96 billion CFA francs per year. At the same time, the same Minister of Finance tells us that government revenue will decline by 120 billion francs, because of the tax exemption of staples (rice, fish, wheat, flour, cooking oil) The reduction in customs duty on clinker (a product used in the manufacture of cement) imported by Cimencam etc.. So we end up with a shortfall of 120 billion francs, while spending, they will grow to 96 billion francs, resulting in a deficit of 96 + 120 = 216 billion CFA francs.
Would you say that the head of state will not achieve its objectives?
Where Paul Biya Will he find the money? Prime Minister announces the recruitment of 14,196 young people in public service, from the current fiscal year. Even better, he said that such recruitment does not reflect those of the army, police and prison services, that is to say, prison guards. So in total, it y aura, au minimum, 30.000 recrutés dans la fonction publique ces jours-ci. En termes financiers, si la moyenne des salaires de ces nouveaux employés est fixée à 100.000 francs cfa, on aboutit à une dépense supplémentaire de 30.000 x 100.000 = 3.000.000.000 (trois milliards) par mois, soit, en un an, 36 milliards. Déficit total : 36 + 216 = 252 milliards de francs cfa. Où Paul Biya va-t-il trouver cet argent ?
Comment voyez vous l’avenir après l’augmentation des salaires du personnel de l’Etat et des forces armées?
Celle-ci concerne tous les fonctionnaires, sans oublier les militaires. Faudrait-il begin by recalling that they had not seen their wages reduced when the rest of state employees had been? It was thus led to the fact that a sergeant, CEP as basic diploma, found himself trying to collect a higher salary than a high school teacher, bac + 5, a doctor, bac + 7, d ' engineer, etc.. We saw the consequences of this injustice: the degradation of public service, the motivation of state employees. Paul Biya, through his rise in wages, extended, purely and simply that.
Even better, it still does favor that civil servants or, only, 200,000 Cameroonians. And the rest? Retirees? The private sector employees? Farmers? Traders? Students? The crisis would hit it only as servants? In short, it establishes, once again, his policy of flagrant social injustice.
What is the purpose of president if all is decidedly dark for you?
In truth, the whole problem of Paul Biya of Cameroon to get elected again, end of year, during election he is preparing early presidential unperturbed. It will empty the coffers, why, and after, never mind, come what may. He has already pocketed a new mandate. It will always be five years of earned. He is, thus, to repeat what he had done in 1992. He had emptied the coffers for re-election. Once this is obtained, appalling misery had befallen the people of Cameroon, it is this that continues to this day. At the time, Jean-Jacques Ekindi had been at pains to denounce in advance, this situation. But nobody had listening, much less taken seriously. Yet he did enunciate what would happen and did happen. After the presidential elections, Cameroonians to know that they will find themselves in a worse position than they now live. The future president, because Paul Biya will be beaten, will have very heavy work ahead.
