In its constant drive to curb systemic corruption and promote transparency and accountability in both the public and private sectors, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (CONAC) of Cameroon has deployed its Anti-Corruption Clinic to the country’s largest city and economic hub, Douala.

An initiative that serves as physical location where citizens report corruption-related issues directly to senior officials of the anti-graft agency who then investigate and address the complaints, the 7th edition of the campaign opened on Monday August 4 and will run till Friday August 8.

Led by CONAC Chairman Rev. Dr. Dieudonné Massi Gams, the commission has relocated to Douala’s Conference Room at the Douala II Council from where it will carry out operations throughout the week.

The Anti-Corruption Clinic is part of CONAC’s strategy to bring its services closer to the people, enabling direct citizen engagement. It temporarily establishes a local platform where corruption cases can be reported and immediately addressed.

Throughout the clinic, CONAC officials will receive, investigate, and process complaints from citizens on the spot, aiming to uncover and combat corruption in the public and private sectors also providing a direct avenue for the citizens to contribute to the overall anti-corruption drive.

In addition to physical reception, CONAC has also provided other channels through which citizens can lodge their complaints including a toll-free number (1517) and a WhatsApp contact (+237 658 26 26 82) among others.

According to the anti-graft agency, the campaign aligns with President Paul Biya’s call on December 31, 2023, to intensify the fight against corruption nationwide. All reported cases during the clinic period, they say, will be thoroughly investigated, with offenders referred to the courts for appropriate legal action.

“We are satisfied with the outcomes of the judgments rendered by the competent authorities on the cases forwarded by CONAC,” Rev. Massi Gams said of previous Anti-Corruption Clinics. “CONAC is currently handling more than 60 complaint files submitted by Cameroonians from various regions,” he disclosed.

The CONAC boss has urged the public to responsibly and objectively report corrupt practices, warning against malicious denunciations intended for personal vendettas. Rev. Massi Gams emphasized that CONAC is committed to protecting whistleblowers acting in good faith.

An update on the outcomes of the Anti-Corruption Clinic will be presented to the press on August 8, 2025, at the Douala II Council conference room.

Cameroon lost over FCFA 114 billion to corruption in 2023, according to the country’s Anti-Corruption Status Report for the said year presented at a ceremony to that effect in Yaounde on September 26, 2024.
