Akoko was defending the Board against accusations of bad faith from publishers of local newspapers who bought the soft copies of the GCE Ordinary and Advanced Levels from the Board and suffered severe loss because most of the candidates read their results on the Internet.
"We explained this to the publishers. We will ensure that this does not repeat itself," he assured the press. The Registrar said he was in Bamenda to sensitise invigilators, Superintendents and Chiefs of Centres on the necessity to conduct the exams with fairness to ensure that all candidates write under the same conditions. The Deputy Registrar said if his institution wanted to publish the results on the Internet, it would have used its own website. Akoko blamed the men for revealing the results online because it could help ill-intended individuals to tamper with them.
The Board said in future it would incorporate a copy of the student's photograph in the examination certificate. This would ensure security of examinations and stop the sale of stolen certificates.
He also described as false information that journalists were barred from GCE marking centres. Journalists, he said, are free to visit the marking centres but they can't be allowed into the examination rooms because they would distract candidates.
"They are free to meet the authorities in charge and ask questions on the conduct of the exams," he said.

...total bullshit, if he has nothing constructive to say, he'd better keep silent on the issue. That's no excuse for not publishing the G.C.E. results on the internet. What sense does it make to be so comfortable with such statement, when more than 70% of the youths including those who've just written the GCE try to spend more time browsing the web in a bib to fit themselves in a society rapidly evolving in technology. Cameroon, where are you heading with these old brains which are immune to modern changes, in institutions like our beloved G.C.E. Board. Let wake up and be realistic with time.
Mr Akoko just fell short of telling the world how much money they gain on candidate's backs after registration fees.Let him and his gang mates fill their mouths with shit.
Mr Akoko,please times have changed. There is no excuse for not publishing the GCE results on the web.Move with the times. You want newspapers to pay you guys some "back pocket" money at the detriment of very anxious youths. I know you wrote the GCE when we use to wait for three months for results.They were announced traditionally during the English 7 pm news and then read for over three days, when Charles La'anzeh would read all centers in Bui division bc the names were so Russiansounding or should I say (soviet union)at the time. So theses kids can get on the net in a minute and relay the information all across Cameroon and the world! Let us have those results quick,quick!
this is the time all the current workers of the gce board shall make some useless money through the sale of result to the news papper vendors that is why they do not want to publish the result through the net
What is the meaning of not posting results on the net, its simple, when u jeopadise for money, knw u are dealing with peoples hearts, with all e money at stake, can't u for once be adapted to the modern world? Dam it.
