Cameroon State Fund Embezzler is Political Refugee in France
A special criminal court finds former minister of Public Works Dieudonné Ambassa Zang guilty of embezzling 5.82 billion FCFA of public funds. He is expected to serve a life time in prison, but apparently a political refugee in France.
In my view it is insufficient to convict someone of corruption. The government of Cameroon should do all in its power to find Dieudonne Ambassa Zang and ensure that his assets are repossessed and bank accounts frozen. That's the first step to take when a government is bent on cracking down corruption. I think France should have a rethink on status.
Society
While Dieudonne Ambassa Zang is thought to have embezzled money to the tune of almost 8 billion FCFA, a group of CPDM North West parliamentarians met with the Minister of Economy Planning and Regional development to probe reasons for government's negligent attitude towards reconstructing the Bamenda-Mbouda Road. The minister's response was that government is still in search of money to continue work on the road and reiterated that government had earlier disbursed some 2 billion FCFA towards the reconstruction of the same road.
How on earth can the government be in search of money when some public servants fill their bank accounts with public funds?
