Operation Sparrowhawk: Cabral Libii Calls For The Arrest of Maurice Kamto
When the revision of the Penal Code gives birth to a curious affair ... KAMTO. It is an open secret. There is now a KAMTO case.
Totally unexpected case because, the opinion could not imagine that the controversy born of the revision of the Penal Code, would lead to a great moment of "publicity" of the President of the MRC.
As a reminder, everything started Saturday, June 25, while the MRC held a rally said in Bamenda, a former UPC MP Paul SOPPO, on a television in Douala, says in substance that Maurice KAMTO, professor emeritus of law, is accountant of the Penal Code querellé and that for this mediocre work, his cabinet has pocketed the plump sum of 14 billion. It was enough to fire the powders ... But what is it?
We must refer to two very edifying recent documents. One is published on June 30, 2016 on his mature facebook, by the now famous Cameroonian investigative journalist Boris Bertolt, currently abroad. The second, is published on the website of the MRC by its President and is entitled: Cameroonian Penal Code: the MRC calls for a new consultation, on some issues.
The first document provides information on the relationship maintained or maintained by Maurice KAMTO with Brain Trust, a consulting firm, and the context of awarding the market for proofreading of certain normative documents, including the penal code by Brain Trust. The second document contains important confessions from the MRC President. Notably that the first revision of the Penal Code was carried out under his supervision on the basis of wide consultation. We also note that it is to this version, KAMTO version, that we owe the so-called "rental fraud".
Just as there was also the illicit enrichment, which curiously disappeared in 2016 ... The arguments they give relative to the ransom of rents, are also taken today to his personal account, by Me MBIAM CPDM, communicating appointed of the new penal code. Maurice KAMTO also makes an interesting statement: "I recall that the update of the Penal Code had been entrusted to the Cabinet Conseil Brain Trust Consulting, headed by Professor Gregoire JIOGUE, at the end of a public call for tenders launched by the Ministry of Justice, which had been answered by several legal advisers and lawyers. The Brain Trust Cabinet, which I know was one of the founders in 1994, was selected by the Procurement Commission, of which I was not a member and then besides that I was absent from Cameroon. ".
The acting game ...

The acting game ...
So there are two actors. One directs, it is Gregory JIOGUE, the other is co-founder, it is Maurice KAMTO. But, this clarification does not say who owns Brain Trust. To find out, refer to Boris Bertolt's paper. It teaches us first that it is not 14 billion, but 11 billion not earned by Brain Trust, but assigned in 2008 by the European Union under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) ) to MINEPAT. Coming from a global envelope of 157 billion, the 11 billion was intended to improve the justice sector. For the review of the Penal Code, the Code of Civil Procedure and the writing of the Code of Criminal Procedure, Berain Trust has thus won only a market of 85 million. It's also true that what Boris Bertolt does not say,
To return to the Penal Code, Boris Bertolt informs us that it is in 2004 when he is called to the Government, that Maurice KAMTO is replaced by Gregoire JIOGUE to become simple shareholder. Here we have the answer to our question. Maurice KAMTO remained co-owner of Brain Trust with the other co-founders of 1994 and possibly with new shareholders. As such, he received benefits from Brain Trust's service (ies), even though some of these profits came from public markets.
And there is not only the story that catches up with it, but the law too. There is no mention of insider trading or conflict of interests still absent from the Penal Code at the material time. On the other hand, Article 135 entitled "interest in an act" could have been invoked: It provides: "Is punished by imprisonment of one to five years and a fine of 200,000 to 2,000,000 francs, any official or a public official who, directly or indirectly, takes or receives an interest: (...) (c) in contracts or contracts entered into on behalf of the State or a public authority, with a natural or legal person ".
In the necks of the law ... and morals ...
I said "could have been invoked"? Yes ! This offense is a crime and not a crime. The public action not exercised, in matters of offense, is extinguished, three (03) years after the facts in accordance with Article 65 paragraph 4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of July 27, 2005. It is called the prescription. Unless, in accordance with Article 66 of the same Code, there has been an interruptive act of prescription, namely: "the lodging of a complaint, the written instructions of the Public Prosecutor's Office prescribing investigative measures, the deeds of bailiffs, the police investigation reports, the warrants of the court, the interrogation of the accused, the accused or the accused and the hearing of the civil party, the civil officer, the witnesses and the insurer for judicial information or the hearing, pre-court-right judgments and declarations of appeal ". So many breaches that could be exploited by the "steamroller".
In any case, our society is evolving, the citizen awakening is sharpening. The outlines of the personality of a public man do not stop only in what he says or wants to believe, but also in his past whose traces, in one way or another, will always rise to the surface . We who are so harsh and caustic towards others, we must think carefully before adopting certain postures. At any moment it may be necessary for us to explain ourselves.
And it will be a moral obligation. More than in the past, those who have political pretensions or assume public office, must pay attention. Anyone who has not been able to resist certain temptations in the past, to go to small arrangements because of their proximity to the ruling order in Cameroon, must prepare morally to face some embarrassing revelations. So is politics! Only the naive must ignore it. "
