Meeting in Yaounde Saturday for an emergency session
chaired by the Chairman of the Electoral Board, Former Governor Enow Abrams
Egbe, the board members of Elacam observed that the Director General of
Elections has committed serious managerial errors that have created a
deleterious atmosphere in the elections management institution.
In a
press statement issued on Friday 25 May 2018 and signed by the Chairman of the
Electoral Board of Elecam, Governor Enow Abrams Egbe, board members of the
institution observed among others that after a careful exploitation of the
reports issued by board members following their respective missions to the
various branches of Elecam at home and in the diaspora, they have come to the
finding that the situation at Elecam is so unsatisfactory and characterized by
a deleterious atmosphere and a general de-motivation of staffers especially on
the eve of important elections.
The
Board Members noted for instance the repeated absence of the DG of elections at
statutory board meetings convened and chaired by the Board Chairman and aimed
to ensure a harmonious functioning of the institution.
The DG of elections, Abdoulaye Babale has been

They as
well frowned at the ‘opaque and calamitous’ management of the finances and materials
of the institution by the DG.
Governor
Enow Abrams and members of the Board noted that the above shortfalls of the DG
have contributed to create an unwholesome atmosphere at Elecam and have dealt a
serious damage to the credibility and image of the institution that is charged
with the responsibility to organize and manage elections in the country.
The
board members in unison resolved that the shortcomings of Abdoulaye Babale
constitute a gross misconduct by virtue of article 25(2) of the electoral code,
which states inter alia that…”The term of office of the DG of elections may be
terminated in one of the following cases….(I)- Mental or physical incapacity
duly established by the board (2)- gross misconduct duly established by the
board and (3) penalty imposed for a felony.
It is
however not immediately known what fate awaits Abdoulaye Babale after these
very telling observations by the electoral board. For one thing, the Board can
only make observation but it cannot take any action against the DG of
elections.
It is
understood that the president of the republic, who has the constitutional
powers to hire and fire senior government officials will urgently pick up the
Elecam dossier and take major decisions sooner than later, if only to reinstate
harmony in the house, apart from restoring much-needed credibility at Elecam.
Abdoulaye
Babale was appointed as DG of Elections in July 2015. He replaced Mohaman Sani
Tanimou, who was dismissed after he too engaged in the same power tussles and
wrangling with the electoral board and its chairman at the time, Dr. Samuel
Fonkam Azu’u.
The
outing of the electoral board comes at a time when Abdoulaye Babale is moving
on the field trying to re-galvanize staffers of Elecam to prepare for upcoming
challenges. The DG’s last stops were in Douala on Wednesday and in Maroua on
Friday, where he told pressmen that all was well at Elecam and that the
institution was battle-ready for upcoming elections.
