In the aftermath, the LCC "regrets the failure to take into account the consumer's right to representation, a provision contained in Framework Law N 2011/012 of 6 May 2011, on consumer protection, consumer representatives. The Cameroonian Consumer League, in particular, were not involved in the examination of the draft Preliminary Draft of this Law".
