One of the problems linked with
inertia in the management of state affairs, are the ages of top government
functionaries. Majority of them are old and long retired. Yet, being
politicians, they are required to stay–on. But civil servants have 55 years to
go on retirement. Out of the ten regional governors in Cameroon only four are
yet to be retired. Six others have been
overdue retirement. Yet, President Paul Biya has been mute over this. Even
several Senior Divisional Officers SDOs and Dos who had long been ripe for
retirement are still on. Governors long due retirement include:
