Since 1977, in some instances, the government of #Cameroon has not accounted for over 50% of oil revenues. Between 1977 and 2006, Cameroon generated $42B in combined revenue from oil sales ($19.8B) & from oil royalties ($27B).
About 50% is now unaccounted for. Since 1960, 63% of industrial investments involving state capital participation in #Cameroon have gone bankrupt (36%) or been privatized (27%).
Ruminate (and try not to have a headache) on that.

When I say I am disappointed (to put it mildly) at the government of #Cameroon's response to #covid19cmr, it is for reasons such as this.
They can do what is NECESSARY to save lives AND they can provide stimulus packages & relief to the most needy.
They are not.
Why?!!!

Messages from govSt leaders & agencies are confusing at best, non-existent at worse. When other nations are carrying out local research, the Ministry of Scientific Research's website http://minresi.cm was last updated Dec 2019.
The shocking thing? It's not even shocking.

Some will come to this thread and try to guilt trip me with that: "they are trying... now is not the time for finger pointing yenyenyen", but I am not having it.
You know why? My voice counts
You do not TRY when it comes to saving lives. You go ALL out. Quickly.

Our government leaders have for donkey years, done more not accounting for state funds than actually developing industry, building the economy & empowering citizens with quality of life.
It's hitting home now that we have a pandemic on our hands.
In fact, it's double jeopardy.
