| Colonel Tchinda Henri |
The National
Gendarmerie has revealed that a total of 116 people were killed in the month of
August 2017 on the main roads in Cameroon. A spokesperson for the Gendarmerie
force, Colonel Tchinda Henri noted on Sunday via Canal Press program on Canal 2
International tv that 90% of these accidents were due to human causes and 10% were due to
environmental issues.
Cameroon Concord News gathered
from the televised presentation that human causes were mainly the imprudence of
drivers with recklessness manifested through speeding, dangerous overtaking,
poor parking of vehicles and driver fatigue.
Colonel Tchinda Henri did not
blame the poor state of the roads including the complete absence of traffic
police and proper driving schools in the country but in a typical CPDM pattern,
presented a plan adopted by the Gendarmerie to limit road accidents during the
back-to-school period.
This is what the gendarmerie
does every year and expect better results, an observer said, noting that the
government seems helpless in the face of accidents.
