Authorities in Cameroon have implemented measures to restrict the travel of specific high-ranking state officials. Border security personnel have been directed to deny exit to officials who have not declared their due diligence or received approval from the appropriate authorities. Martin Mbarga Nguele, the Delegate General for National Security, relayed this directive through a radio message on February 29, which has now surfaced on social media.
The message emphasizes the need for heightened vigilance among security personnel at land borders, seaports, and airports when dealing with certain state figures seeking to leave the country. Those facing increased scrutiny before departure include Presidents of Boards of Administration, Director Generals, and Deputy Director Generals. The directive underscores that these officials must ensure that their due diligence reports have been submitted and approved before they are permitted to exit the country.
According to a document circulating on social media, the president of the republic may have some influence over the police chief’s decision. The move appears to be part of a broader effort to enhance oversight and accountability among high-ranking state officials. The government’s commitment to ensuring that proper procedures are followed before officials leave the country is evident in this recent directive from Martin Mbarga Nguele.
These new measures are aiming to prevent corrupt practices, unauthorized trips, or other risks associated with the departure of high-ranking state officials. By requiring them to submit due diligence reports and obtain approval before leaving the country, the government is reinforcing transparency and accountability in their actions.
It is crucial for Cameroonian authorities to enforce these restrictions effectively and ensure that all state officials comply with the new regulations. The involvement of the president in influencing the decisions of the police chief demonstrates a top-down approach to implementing these measures and ensuring their success.
Overall, these measures highlight the government’s commitment to combating corruption and promoting accountability among high-ranking state officials. By holding them accountable for their actions and ensuring proper procedures are followed before their departure, Cameroon is taking a step towards strengthening governance and reducing the potential for abuse of power.
