MINISTRY OF TERRITORIAL ADMINISTRATION
URGENT:
RADIO-PRESS COMMUNIQUE:
The Minister of Territorial Administration informs national and international public opinion that the Government of the Republic will not tolerate, under any pretext, the slightest attack on the integrity, transparency, and serenity of the ongoing electoral process.
It is formally established that any person, whether residing on national territory or abroad, who attempts to disrupt, hinder, or manipulate in any way the regular conduct of the electoral process—from the publication of the final lists of candidates to the formal proclamation of the results—is liable to severe legal prosecution, in accordance with the laws in force. No excuse, no political affiliation, no status can justify such a crime
Likewise, any threat, insult, or smear campaign against the institutions of the Republic, those who embody them, or even against their family members, relayed in particular via social media, will be rigorously pursued, and the perpetrators of these abuses will be arrested, identified, and brought before the competent courts. Impunity will neither be tolerated nor accepted.
Furthermore, investigations are currently underway to locate, identify, and bring to justice the individuals guilty of hacking into the computer systems of the Ministry of Territorial Administration, with the malicious aim of inserting a name that has neither legal basis nor a legitimate place in the national electoral system. This act of computer sabotage, which can be considered an attempt to destabilize republican institutions, will be subject to exemplary sanctions
The Minister of Territorial Administration firmly recalls that the Republic of Cameroon is a state governed by the rule of law, with solid institutions, an independent judicial system, and specialized services fully mobilized to uphold republican order.
It is hereby stated that any attempt at subversion, any maneuver to manipulate public opinion, any action aimed at discrediting institutions and sowing chaos will be stifled with the utmost energy. The law will be applied with all its rigor.
