The President of the United States on 31 December 2017 indicated that the operation of the port of Kribi in Central Africa 'will open up bright prospects', which prompted the General Manager to respond to an interview in the Cameroonian newspaper, Mutation. According to the General Manager, everything is ready to host this year: 'However, this year we expect to host hundreds of ships on a regular basis. " said Partice Melom, general manager of the port of Kribi. An opinion that Mr Christian Penda Ekoka, Technical Adviser at the Presidency of the Republic, does not share. He says that the port of Kribi only serves as an absorption capacity for a country or a region. Cameroon, Chad and the Central African Republic each have a capacity of 11 million tonnes. which implies that the port of Douala already accommodates 10 million tonnes. so the port of Kribi would only be created to cater for 1 million tones. The situation in Chad and the Central African Republic in Benin, Sudan has been weakened by the failure of the Chadian authorities in Chad, where almost 50% of Chad's imports are obtained. It has been under construction for the past two years since the construction of the infrastructure of the Cameroonian authorities, the Director General stated that it is a priority due to lack of activity. It could be inferred that the Cameroonian government borrowed large sums of money to build infrastructure that was damaged because it was not used. With regard to the Kribi industrial zone, the Director General stated that 'the development of an industrialised area has not been achieved', an opinion shared by Christian Penda Ekoka who explained that the development of an industrial zone was the result of an agreement with Rio Tinto, which withdrew from the project. Pendo Ekoka added that "if Cameroon had just invested the 10%, of the money spent on the port of Kribi, in the port of Tiko, Limbe and Douala, it should have been more profitable and have a direct impact on our economy" What is certain is that the port of Kribi is the most modern and most important facility in the whole Central African area.
