Double registrations on the electoral list

As the days unfold, I feel so disappointed that ELECAM missed an important opportunity like our project to make good the mess they have made this far. Distribution of vote cards is so disorganised and many seem to show no interest in going for the cards.  Some who ever develop the courage to go receive vote cards with the wrong polling stations etc.

If ELECAM ever allowed reason to play, Cameroonians would have known via sms which polling stations they are going to vote in and may even chose to go to those polling stations on the day of the election and then pick-up their cards and vote.
With less than 10 days to go, less than 5% of Cameroonians who registered have vote cards. Instead of sending vote cards to the various polling stations with a permanent team to work in the polling stations during this distribution, people are called to specific locations to collect vote cards. How many Cameroonians are willing and have the money to pay a taxi just to go and collect a vote card?

Looks like the game is over!

Mrs Paulin Biyond even concluded the whole game by confirming the popular outcry that ELECAM is a branch of the CPDM central committee by actively campaigning for the CPDM.

The opposition on the other hand is so weak and senseless to continue wasting their time instead of putting pressure for the resignation of this ELECAM member.  I was at the regional delegation of the ELECAM office to put my pick-up truck at their disposal for use in the distribution of voters cards after I some of them complained about lack of means of transportation. To me, Cameroonians should do everything to stop ELECAM from finding any excuse for not doing their work. This offer is still in good faith like we wanted to do with the sms system.

During my meeting with the Delegate of ELECAM, I was surprised that he was as bitter when I brought to his attention the fact that members of elecam are campaigning for a political party.  He even showed me photocopies of the newspaper article while lamenting that her action has completely made them at ELECAM look stupid and speechless ( see copy of our offer letter attached)

Many of the political party leaders never showed up for the meeting on Tuesday. Only Paul Aya and the representative of Admaou Ndam Njoya showed up but the exchange with them was excellent
