Barry, a 73-year-old man, claims he has been delivered over 200 parking and clean air zone penalties over the last two years - despite not being on the road.
Since 1995, nearly XAF100 billion has been collected at toll booths. Despite the upward trend from one fiscal year to the next since its inception, the road toll has not yet achieved its potential. We believe this is because of the very high fraud rate and questionable management [of those infrastructures], the Mintp revealed.
He explained that due to the obsolescence of the infrastructures and the frauds caused by contacts between toll collectors and road users, only about 50% of the revenues collected are paid to the government. This means that the government lost about “
XAF100 billion out of the XAF200 billion it should have collected in 25 years,” he said.
