Vote Sizing Institute

“La route ne tue pas mais c’est nous qui tuons…” Black Rogers exclaims in his song titled “La Route ne Tue Pas.” His message is that the road itself does not kill.

Julius held this Survey on the 28th October at Staff College Douala (STACO) with form 5 students.

While acknowledging that the former Ministers of the Economy and Finance, Polycarpe Abah Abah, and Public Health, Urbain Olanguena Awono, could be guilty of misappropriation of public funds, the primary motive of their arrests, beyond reasonable doubt, rests on differing political ideologies in a regime that nourishes dearth of a democracy of opinion.
