Mr Lyonga just called a spade a spade. This type of language is very uncomfortable to our ears. I commend his boldness and add my voice to his in calling all Cameroonians who have ghost accounts to close them immediately. I am making the appeal because I am a Cameroonian nothing more. This takes me to the suggestion made by Mr Alain.
"While I join you all in condemning these practices, it is still the responsibility of the Government to have a system that checks for such abuses".
I commend him for him for condemning these practices, but offer to differ with his call for the government alone to put the house in order. Which comes first? Moral decadent or bad governance? Who is the government? Part of the answer is the government constitutes people and if these people are flawed then the government would be flawed. Therefore any meaningful change has to start with the people. If people with excellent morals are elected into public office they would work for the interest of the entire country. And not just for their stomachs as has been the case in our country. Most people are hand clappers, because they want an opportunity to fill their stomachs.
We do not have to hide behind the pretext that the government is corrupt so we too have to become corrupt. Two wrongs never make a right. Remember bad habits dies hard. We should not deceive our selves to believe that our moral decadent would disappear over night if there is a change of government. That is why we the people have to start changing. Let the Chop a Chop culture stop. It can stop with you. Most of you will say what can one person do? One person is part of the whole. So stop waiting and start changing.
