BIYA IS UNPATRIOTIC, DECEITFUL AND INCOMPETENT TO RUN CAMEROON AGAIN- CRP CHAIRMAN.

Cameroon Reformation Party’s (CRP) Chairman says President Paul Biya is unpatriotic, deceitful and incompetent to run Cameroon again. He raises lots of questions as to why Cameroonian youths have to look at the future with hope, as the President suggested. What happened to the other ‘plans’ that the youths are now into another ‘Three Year Special Youth Plan,’?  In a statement after President Paul Biya’s 2016 National Youth Day celebration message, CRP leader, Foligar Lang said it was time for the youths to take over the mantle of leadership.

CRP STATEMENT

CRP PRESIDENT, LANG :  TO DO BETTER?

Permit me to begin by informing President Paul Biya that Cameroonian youths are more patriotic than he is and deserve respect. From my understanding of the President’s Youth Day Celebration speech President Biya acknowledged being a failure, liar and a corruptor of the country. He timidly and shamefully acknowledged how he is a good example of a bad President.

It is true when Mr Biya says that “our youths constitute a major asset for the nation’s future’’ and that the youths are “numerous and full of potential, dynamic and ambitious, conquering and creative.’’. Mr Biya accuses Cameroonian youths saying they are fearful of achievements. But he failed to give reasons.

As President Biya points out that some Cameroonian youths were able to ‘’achieved the excellent results which we can all be proud of,’ he failed to notice is that he should be the only Cameroonian who should not be proud of this achievement because he is doing nothing as President to contribute to the success of these super hard working and creative young Cameroonians. He deserves no credits at all!

I finds it insulting to the youths and to their parents when the President thinks that because the “farmer is on his farm, the student in their studies, the workman in his workshop, the teacher in the classroom, the doctor or nurse at the hospital, the researcher in his laboratory, the civil servant in his office, the trader in his shop, the mechanic in his garage, it means they are all unpatriotic.

DIED FOR CAMEROON 

He wants all working classes and common people to comply their trades with patriotism. This is ridiculous. Biya believes that being a soldier and fighting Boko Haram is patriotism. E.g. our youths who are engaged at the battle front against terrorism for the nation’s sake? 

Mr Biya, claims these young soldiers “are sustained and driven by patriotism, often to the point of sacrificing their lives. Does the President  want all the youth to be soldiers? 

We highly appreciate the efforts of our soldiers who are often prepared to sacrifice their lives. We condemn the President’s unwillingness to make sacrifices to improve their livelihood.

Bad practices has arisen under Biya’s leadership, no one else can take the blame. Some youths might be wondering if the President actually understands their problems, considering the fact  that the President spends most of his time abroad and nothing is being done to improve the livelihood of the youths. Mr President, what have you done about it? 34 years in power is more than enough time to resolve economic crisis and to achieve economic boom/growth. What are you doing with the proceeds generated from the exploitation of our natural resources?

I understands why in 2009, you were able to shamelessly spend over 23 million CFA a day for 43 bedrooms in Hermitage and the Royal, two luxury hotels in La Baule .The 23 million CFA per day excluded food and beverage, leisure; casino, spa sessions, shopping etc. I would like to tell President Biya that he owes an apology Cameroonians.

The President claims in his 2016 Youth day address that, ‘’our capacity to create decent jobs is constrained by external factors related to the global economic environment.’ What the President fails to understand is that the CPDM government officially declared economic crisis in 1985. Since 1985, we are still in the same situation if not worst. 

KIGALI, RWANDA

If external factors are responsible for lack of job creation, how then since 1985, Cameroon is still not progressing and other countries like Rwanda, Botswana, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique (which were worse off than Cameroon when 

Mr  Biya took over office as President) are progressing?) If the President does not know the answer, CRP says it is simply a matter of  poor governance an incompetence leadership.

DEMOCRATIC ‘RED’ TAPE

Mr Biya also claims that the youths are unable to get jobs because of ‘’some domestic red tape’ and he promises, “We are not giving up’’. The domestic red tape has been created by you Mr President! If you have not been able to resolve the problem for 34 years, there is no guarantee that you will ever do it. In fact, there is all indication that Cameroon is going backward and will continue to regress under your dictatorial and incompetent leadership. The President claims that ‘’their efforts over the past few years are starting to pay off’.’

What efforts are you referring to? Why didn’t you give the youths a few examples of the results? The President did not do that because he has nothing to show to the youths.

By saying that ‘’the development of our agricultural sector will be accorded a prime place,’’, you have finally confirmed that you killed the agricultural sector which used to be the backbone of our economy and top on the agenda of your predecessor President Amadou Ahidjo.Mr President, how can you ask the youths “not be afraid to take the plunge and become the agricultural entrepreneurs that Cameroon needs,’’ when you have completely destroyed the agricultural sector?

PAUL BIYA : AGRO PASTORAL SHOW

Where are the subsidies and incentives, structures, institutions?

Why did you stop Green Revolution and the Agric Show?

 Why did you shut down Marketing Board and FONADER (Farmer’s

Bank, which use to give loans and tools to boost agriculture?)

Why have you failed to construct accessible farm to market roads?

Mr President, why are you shifting your responsibilities to others?

Are you not ashamed to say you ‘’urge the elders to shoulder their responsibility’’?

CRP would like to know how this is possible when you have not provided the means to do so.

Mr President, as you know, the youths and the elders do not have the means to carry this forward without your support?

Mr President, are you actually aware that you are the leader of our country? Your advice seems to be coming from a man with no powers or a man with powers who does not know what his responsibilities are. Mr President, you are asking elders ‘to set a good example’ for the youths and you claim ‘’urban workers should also undertake activities in rural areas’’. You failed to tell the youths and the so-called elders how they are going to do this. ‘’Through their actions and those of the Government’’, (what actions are you referring to?) …. ‘’we should make our villages more youth-friendly’’. It is true that the villages are less ‘youth-friendly’’. It is as a result of your poor policies and leadership.

Mr President, if you provide the resources that are needed and or even the environment, Cameroonian youths with their determination and commitment will work so hard and would be able to afford money for the basic things they cannot afford for now. They could even have more money to travel for holidays. Some may even go to Beverly Hills on holidays (not to live as others who do not work do). They will not spend $400 dollars for a single taxi journey because they know the value of hard earned money.

DO WE HAVE THE TOOLS?

Mr President, you claim ‘’there are many Government programmes designed to support rural development’’ and that the youths should ‘’obtain information on such programmes’’. If there were such programmes, the youths would have been the first to know. Mr President, I can see that unlike others at your age, you are aware of Information Technology to the extent that you call it “Android” generation and the ‘’digital economy’’. 

Congratulations. Now you are giving the youths lectures on how to be technologically smart. That smartness of yours was seen on your official website when you or your stooges shamelessly photo shopped a picture of yourself honouring our (not your) fallen soldiers while you were on your usual holiday trips in Europe.

IMPROVE ‘INTERNET’ ECONOMY

Why can’t you improve the internet sector of the economy?

We have no broadband or fast broadband in Cameroon. Your expertise in digital economy seems to be limited to Photoshop.

Mr President, you are right when you say ‘’that one of the major challenges for our youths is to manage to keep abreast of the astounding phenomenon of the digital economy’’. However, Cameroonian youths were excited, some were angry and others surprised to learn that their fellow compatriot (who has never worked in a farm, whose parents are not farmers) is using android and digital technology to vert her frustration for being poorly treated by a taxi driver in Beverly Hill. Are you aware of how fortunate your daughter is and how unfortunate her fellow peers are under your poor leadership and management?  

WHERE FARM TO MARKET ROADS?

The CRP finds President Biya’s description of the Cameroonian youths and their parents for not being patriotic, committed and determined as insulting.

Mr President, you seem to be the only Cameroonian who is aware that the ‘Government has opened three Pilot Centres of Excellence in Douala, Limbe and Sangmelima, at the cost of about 21 billion CFA Frs. to provide retraining and skills upgrading for senior technicians and other skilled workers’’. Can we know exactly where these Pilot Centres are and how come cfa 21 billion has been paid out for what is apparently in existent? Is this how you spend our money? On ghost projects!

WHICH OTHER THREE YEAR EMERGENCY PLAN?

Mr President. You talk of an inexistent ‘’Three-Year Emergency Plan and the fake ‘’launching of the extensive industrialization programme’’ to ‘’create many job opportunities’’. You are addressing the youths but what you fail to understand is that the youths are mature enough to understand that you are not good even at inventing stories. Mr President, CRP has not seen any proof of ‘’the economic integration of youths’’ that you are claiming. 

Mr President how can you claim you have just given instructions for the launch of a three-year Special Youth plan worth CFAF 102 billion in total? To who and when and how have you given such instructions? By the way, why try to spend CFA 102 billion for the fake launch of a three-year ‘Special Youth Plan’ when you can open close to 100 new firms with that amount of money? With 102 billion CFA, my economic advisers tell me CRP can create opportunities of 90 firms employing up 500 workers.

MESSAGE LACKING VISION

Mr Biya claim that his plan is to ‘’facilitate and accelerate the economic integration of our youths’’ thereby letting the youths to demonstrate their “economic patriotism”. He is truly an absentee president and does not know his people well. Mr President, CRP finds your message extremely disrespectful and lacking vision.

 Mr President, you ask the youths to attend and ‘’reap the benefit from the good citizenship education programmes offered by the Civil Service Agency for Participation in Development’.  The only one person we deem necessary to attend this course is President Paul Biya.

SHALL YOUTHS BE HAPPY SOME DAY?

FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE ON WHAT BASES?

Mr President, is urging the youths ‘’to look to the future with more confidence ‘On what bases? CRP has the youths and committed to the entire Nation.

Mr Biya has succeeded in the past 34 years to divide and rule the opposition parties and to successfully bring most of them under his control.

This time, the drummers are playing a different music. Music you are unfamiliar with. The dancers are now leaving the old dancing floors as they are now listening to a good and different brand of music. Luckily enough, the dancers have the right skills to dance to the rhythm of their new singer.

This is our time. We shall get back our country from you and put it under our control. CRP is determined.

Long Live Cameroonian Youths

Long Live CRP

Long Live Cameroon.

WITH YOU AND FOR YOU

Foligar Lang

CRP President!
