Situations and problems in Cameroon are taking a new step with the recent renewal of the Penal code which seems to touch every crime, but the problem now is? little crimes are offered serious punishments where as great crimes are offered lame punishments, for example in the new penal code law, a tenant who owes about 2 months rent is liable to spend 2 years in jail where as a huge crime such as homosexuality is offered the same 2 years. I mean people this is sick and insane how can owing about two months rent be equivalent to homosexuality. In Nigeria homosexuals are giving 12 years imprisonment but in Cameroon we have just 2 years, check it out people its almost legal.Well lets just see how the country is getting from bad to worse since Cameroonian citizens digest any rubbish there are fed with.CRTV just reported that the Controversial Revised PENAL CODE has been enacted by head of state Paul Biya and that it went into function since July 12,2016.My Take;Many prisons will have to be built across the country because many tenants will obviously go to jail.As usual he who has the power will use it to put the weak behind bars.We know how it functions in Cameroon,imprisonment without trial .Renting in Cameroon now is a heavy duty ,very heavy especially those in big cities like that of Douala and Yaounde.The Sector has not been regulated and Landlords are free to demand any amount of money as rents.The purchasing power of Cameroonians is too low,salaries are disgrace but our government has chosen to give a deaf ear.
