Corruption undoubtedly remains widespread in Cameroon. It affects all aspects of economic and social life. It is ubiquitous at all levels of society:
In the education field, the widespread corruption of the regime has destroyed the Cameroonian education system, especially its public university system, which was one of the most successful and respected in all African regions But if you want to destroy a country, there is no better way to do it than to destroy its education system. Recruitment and promotion of university teachers followed the same path. You have to really hate your country to allow such practices to flourish, which take place with the knowledge of the authorities and with total impunity.

Prevention and a ruthless fight against all forms of corruption

• The renaissance of Cameroon will go through the strangulation of corruption starting from the top of the State. In 2006, the law implementing article 66 of the Constitution on the declaration of property and assets was adopted. The draft decree of application of this law, which was to allow the setting up of the Committee in charge of receiving the declarations, was duly prepared and submitted for signature to the Head of State, who has not signed it to date. This draft decree will be the first text we will sign in order to apply it to ourselves, because we wish to declare our property and assets upon accession to the highest functions of the State.
• We will provide appropriate responses to corruption at the levels of intra-administration, inter-administration and administration-administered. This strategy includes a repressive component and a preventive component.
• We intend to reduce corruption to its lowest level in 10 years by a combination of many measures:

• Activate the implementation mechanism of Article 66 of the Constitution on the declara-tion of property for the heads of the administration and public officials. In this vein, we will set up traceability models for the assets of all State officials.
• Get the Parliament to adopt a law on illicit enrichment;
• Gradually introduce e-administration and e-services while aiming for their generalisation after 5 years, in order to limit contacts between State agents and users of the administration
• Strengthen international collaboration for the fight against corruption;
• Substantially increase the salaries of State employees on the basis of savings on public expenditure and encourage enterprises in the productive sector to increase the salaries of their staff on the basis of evolution of the cost of living index, on the other hand.

Civil society and the media, a vital link in the fight against corruption

Civil society actors and the media working for greater transparency in society will be an essential link in our fight against corruption.

Corruption prevention

We will take such diverse measures to prevent corruption as:

• Simplify and publish administrative procedures;
• Computerise the public procurement system to increase transparency and minimise contact with bidders.
• Limit contacts between the administration and the citizens, thanks in particular to e-governance;
• Gradually eliminate cash payments in administrations;
• Raise public awareness about the damage of corruption in the country;
• Regularly change the officials.

Sanctioning acts of corruption

• We will systematically prosecute the corrupt and the briber according to the law;
• We will sequester property suspected of being the proceeds of corruption during the proceedings so that in the event of a conviction, the State may recover the ill-gotten property. The rule here is that neither the guilty person nor his loved ones should enjoy the fruits of corruption

Reform the institutions in charge of the fight against corruption

We will replace all institutions in charge of the fight against corruption by two institutions:

• A National Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Agency (NAGGA). Placed un-der the authority of the President of the Republic, it will periodically inform the Parlia-ment, will have a branch in each region (or each federated entity) of the country and will have the right of referral to the Courts;
• The SCC will be maintained, and greater independence will be conferred on it. Its ca-pacity for action and its means will be increased.
