Good governance to reconcile the governed and the governing

  • Whether in terms of good electoral governance, good economic and social governance, or even good human resources management, the gap is widening every day between the concerns and the actions of the « rulers » and the legitimate expectations of the clear majority of the population for a substantial improvement in their living conditions.
  • Indeed, the break between the populations of Cameroon and those who govern them is obvious. It is translated by a defeatism of Cameroonians vis-à-vis politics, due to the opacity in the governmental action, the feeling of exclusion in the management of State affairs if it is not to their detriment, the lack of efficiency in the management of public goods, massive electoral fraud that eventually convinced Cameroonians that voting or not voting was useless.

A successful public administration

Rationalising the public administration becomes an imperative for the State, aware of being the main lever of the country’s development and anxious to participate in an advantageous way to economic competition in a globalised world.

We will reform the public administration on several aspects:

  • Bilingualism shall be mandatory, and no one shall have a position in the Public Service if s/he does not speak English and French, and ultimately the national language and these two official languages;
  • At the level of Decentralised Territorial Units, we will grant a real legal status to municipal and regional staff as a body in its own right;
  • The definition of a public service access policy by reinforcing the respect of the orthodoxy of the existing texts in order to guarantee a progressive integration of talents coming from the private sector into the public administration;
  • Control of the workforce by cleaning up the file of the State agents in order to achieve the control of the exact number of employees of the State and its payroll;
  • The definition of objective career management criteria through the implementation of all modules of the
  • SIGIPES application to achieve total deconcentration of State personnel management and full automation of operations related to pay management;
  • Continuing training throughout one’s career for any agent will be strongly encouraged or even mandatory in the technical functions and new-technologies related functions;
  • The definition of objectives related to each workstation should be made mandatory for all administrations in terms of performance.
  • In all cases, transparency will be at the heart of public management.

E-Governance (electronic governance)

E-governance is the use of the computer tool as a support for interoperability between all the actors of a State development chain. This chain is generally tripartite: State, civil society and development partners.

We will implement e-governance in order of importance:

  • E-administration,involving the computerised management of operations in various government departments and agencies. Several administrative documents will be published directly electronically, limiting the use of consumables (paper, ink, etc …) and ensuring the traceability of all issued documents.
  • E-services that want to be the platform allowing citizens to put information and services at the disposal of public administrations.
  • E-democracy enabling citizens and political actors to participate in the decision-making through ICTs.

Restore trust between the Cameroonian people and their leaders

We will desecrate the politician, as any other holder of public power (official, police, military, …) without sinking into vulgarity.
The politician and any official must first serve the nation and not use the nation.
we will put in place a set of rules of good governance to restore trust between citizens and leaders such as:

  • Remunerating the senior staff at their fair value;
  • Reducing expenses for executive cars
  • Limiting personnel housing;
  • Conditioning the remuneration of the MPs to their actual presence during the works in parliamentary session.
