The Electoral Board Chairman of ELECAM, Dr Fonkam Azu’u Samuel said in Yaounde, August 10, 2011, that the law authorises the board members to work with heads of diplomatic missions in Cameroon’s Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates.

How much is this going to cost the cameroon taxpayer?? Why not send one or two memebers to work with the various ambassadors and consulates to put in plce those committees.This is another way to waste the hard earned tax payers money in Cameroon.

I was great reading through the struggle and preparation you people are going the put things in place for the up coming election which we thing and hope it will bring us more opportunities that can land in in our expectations.
I want to first of all appreciate you people for your time and effort.
What I want to say is, we as Cameroonians knowing full well how the elections process is being carrying out in Cameroon.
1) we know that Government is providing Id Cards to Cameroonian free to registered the Election then sponsoring election also to other areas freely.
2) We in South Africa or I for myself in South Africa is asking that, if Government has recognized us with right to vote how then we are being asking to pay R3.00 before we can be registered to vote.
Where is our right to vote as Cameroonians?
So of us here are students and we find it very difficult to meet up with our studies the small money we have to use for buying something to support ourselves we have to take to pay before we can be registered is that fair?

I use a debit card for the sole reason that if I rack up 10 transactions per month (not PIN transactions) I get 3% interest on up to $30k. That is one of the best interest rates in the country for that amount of deposits. I make my 10 transactions and then put it away until the next month starts.
