The bureau members of the trade union were installed last Thursday July 2.
The Cameroon National Trade Union of Driving School Operators known by its French acronym as SNEAEC has commissioned members of its regional and divisional offices to reinforce the fight against corruption that surrounds the driver licence tests.
Speaking during the installation ceremony, the National President of SNEAEC, François Ngah Mesobo said the examination is meant to distinguish between good and bad drivers, so that the driving schools may still give the bad drivers opportunities for training. This, he said, would prevent unnecessary road accidents. The president added that SNEAEC must strive to resolve collective and not individual problems, adding that this will make the association credible.
Mr. Mesobo outlined some of the successes of the association, which include the putting in place of a jury for the driving exams, institution of examination fee, and the fee to withdraw driving licences. Their profession, he said, is moving forward, thanks to annual contributions and membership cards. The newly installed regional president, Jean Sigha said they will ensure regular visits to driving schools to tackle existing problems. He said the members should pay their annual dues so as to fortify the association. They intend to institute a national day of road security, Mesobo explained. Representing the Littoral Regional Governor, Joseph Elongo said the installed members should look into the sector of Motor taxis and put order, especially in the domain of training.
