Kamdem Zacks member of west region syndicate made the observation in a chat with press shortly after a meeting held in Bafoussam recently with the commander of the joined Gendarmerie Regions of northwest and west Region General Housseini Djibo,to sort lasting solution to the crisis rocking the transport sector in the region. The approach adopted by General Housseini to address their worries left no one with an oita of doubt that he is a man of probity, poised to weed out irresponsible uniform men who have soiled the image the corp with corruption.His take sterms from the fact that curroption is imbedded in Cameroon and is rare to hear such a highly placed state man openly lambast uniform men corrupt. He said such unethical behavior breeds hatreds and rancor between state gun men and the civilians. Uniform ,law enforcement officers are supposed to be examplary not pepertrators of corruption.
Without mixing words, he sounded a very stern warning to wayward Gendarmerie officers noted for intimidation and extortion of money from transporters and the public. While condemning such unethical behavior that is damaging to image of the nation,he recounted how Cameroonians were respected the world over of yore as a people of integrity,but to " when you present your self in foreign as Cameroonian, the security officials of that county will carry out a thourough scrutiny of your credentials as we are noted for corruption". This he said is damaging to the nation and must stop!
He condemned in very strong sterms uniform who have transformed check points to
Money collection points.
He how ever exported transporters to establish all vehicle documents to eschew exploitation by both Police and Gendarms who most often take advantage of incomplete vehicle documents to exploit them.
He gave out his contact number to the presidents of the transporters syndicate to call him anytime, where ever a uniform man defaults.
Transports revealed appalled stories about the behavior some uniform. They see us transporters as a source of revenue from where they enrich them selves. One of them lamented .
The visibly General did not hesitate to call some the uniform of the region noted for unethical practices by their names.
He instructed the transporters syndicate to avoid working is dispersed ranks to be able to fight corrupt uniform officials. On this note,he exhorted them to create a focal point to able to collaborate with him on issues affecting the transport sector in the Region.
