RE: 9 licences to be given soon..in Cameroon including in our basin Rio del Rey18 Feb 2026 15:15
Cameroon has announced licensing rounds in the past. They came and went didn't affect TRP.
My opinion:
Cameroon doesn't want JA / TRP they see him as ineffective, disorganised and full of excuses.
Cabinet reshuffle is a BS excuse. The alleged approval was given and signed off just awaiting the president's signature yet JA could not push it through.
What should he have done differently: Camp out in Cameroon ask for a detailed step by step process of what happens from minister approval to President sign off and literally follow it through the process.
For example: they say after the minister signs it off it is taken by dispatch rider to the presidential villa.
Then JA says Ok where is the rider, is he on lunch, ok it has been signed give it to him ride behind him to the villa.
Ok you have handed it off. What next? They say it has been handed to the presidents PA. You ask to meet the PA if they say he is busy fix an appointment return the next day meet with him ask him if he is on the President desk. If he says yes, great ask him what number it is in line to be signed off. If he says no. Ask why ? Again stay on the detail in granula form. That level of detail is what it takes to move your file in Africa. I have friends that know and do this.
JA is tired and can't pull this off.
Sad!
