FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION

Cabinet minister and director picked up

Former Secondary Education Secretary of State Catherine Abena has been picked up by the Judicial Police in Yaounde on charges of embezzling public funds while serving as a cabinet member. Also arrested and being held at the Judicial Police Headquarters is Henri Engoulou, Former Minister Delegate in the Ministry of the Economy and Finance. A report broadcast during today’s national and world news by CRTV National Television Deputy Editor in Chief, Ashu Nyenti, stated that while the team of reporters was at the Judicial Police in the afternoon for further details, it spotted Mrs. Abena going from office to office and not willing to talk. She is said to have also gone on a hunger strike, but since she will not talk, the exact reason for the strike is not yet known.

Last week, other top officials were arrested. The most commented among them is the Former Basic Education Minister Mrs. Haman Adama, the reason being that she is the first official from the three regions of the Big North to have been arrested for alleged embezzlement. Since Paul Biya launched a war against corruption by arresting top public officials a couple of years ago, most arrests have come from the Beti tribal to which he belongs. In addition to Mrs. Haman Adama, the former General Manager of Aéroport du Cameroon, Ntongo Onguene, was also arrested.

Although on the whole, observers applaud this move by President Paul Biya, tongues are wagging, the reason being that when he makes arrests, he does not make those accused to return the money they are said to have stolen. Some pundits also wonder what criteria he is using to arrest suspects when , as one man put it: ‘there are other people walking free whom everyone knows do not have clean hands and should also have been arrested.”

The new bishop of Obala was born in 1964 in Matomb in Nyong and Kelle Division of the Centre Province. He was ordained priest in the Eseka Cathedral in Nyong and Kelle Division in 1994. He served as vicar at the St. Simon of Kondi Parish in Douala, and later Curate of the St. Paul Parish in Ngog-Mapubi under the Eseka Diocese.
