Revelation of The Newspapers: 'Paul Biya Prepares Another Shot'

The fate of a former dignitary of the regime accused of misappropriation of public funds, on the run and then extradited from Nigeria, continues to fascinate the Cameroonian newspapers published on Wednesday along with the expectation of the results of the senatorial elections on Sunday. 

'Water and Energy (MINEE) until March 2, the face of Basile Atangana Kouna is on the cover of Mutations, The Messenger, The Evening, Panels Info, The Guardian Post and The Day.

Here and there, it is certainly true of his flight to Nigeria when he was subject to two formal prohibitions of exit from the national territory, his arrest and then his forced return to the fold.

"Presented before the Special Criminal Court (TCS) late last week, to be served public affront to the facts when he was serving as director general of Cameroon Water Utilities (Camwater), he goes again to talk about him badly. After the questioning of the officers of the army, it is the turn of a religious to be in the nets of justice for complicity with the former minister, "details bi-weekly Repères.

Above all, insists Le Jour, there is this priest, Father Alain Nkodo, vicar at the parish of Mokolo in Yaounde, the capital of the country, who would have helped the fugitive by organizing his departure from the country and paying smugglers.

This man of God, adds The Messenger, also from now on in the nets of the police, is a close friend of the alleged embezzler of public funds.

With money backed up by his mentor's wife, reports La Nouvelle, who puts forward a sum of 80 million FCFA, Father Alain Nkodo organized everything, taking advantage of his cassock so as not to attract the attention of security services.

And when arrested in Nigeria, says the weekly, Mr. Atangana Kouna was in possession of a briefcase containing 900 million FCFA and 17 credit cards.

Mokolo is now orphaned by his vicar, note in chorus Mutations and Day, while The Guardian Post is formal: apart from the priest, at least three members of the government, still in office, gave their helping hand in the escape fool of Basil Atangana Kouna.

What is more surprising, says Repères, is the clergy's growing involvement in political affairs, with men in cassocks playing more and more a troubled role in the affairs of public morals and their positions on politics. subject being more and more controversial.

The Special Criminal Court (TCS), Le Soir warned, seized its luxury cars and expensive suits.

Beyond the excitement she arouses and the scabrous episode of the flight of former MINEE, sorry Panels Info, the damage committed by the new residents of Kondengui, the central prison of Yaoundé, are immeasurable too good for the taxpayer than for the image of the country.

Seven barons of the regime are, according to The Guardian Post, cited as complicit in the exit of the country of Atangana Kouna including a former prime minister, three ministers in office and two others sacked on March 2, all that justifies the precipitate return to country of President Biya, who was staying in private in Europe after his state visit to China.

"Paul Biya is preparing another blow," agrees InfoMatin about this unexpected return: it was known that the March 2 government reorganization was only a regulation imposed by the necessities of "Operation Sparrowhawk" and that the best remained a larger cabinet reshuffle will be forthcoming, as will the arrests of alleged economic criminals.

What is more vague at the moment, the same paper continues about the senatorial elections last Sunday, it is the "false figures" of Elections Cameroon (Elecam) concerning the participation rate.

What makes disorder, supports the daily with private capital, it is the contradictory statements of the general director of this organization in charge of the management of the polls and other operations referendums, Abdoulaye Babalé which for the first time shows a participation rate of 92%, and a few hours later speaks of 97.72%.

After this mea culpa, many in the public already express fears when we know that in a few months, the same Elecam will be called to organize elections (presidential, legislative and municipal) with a number of registered counting to millions of individuals.

But that does not stop the controversy: Ouest-Echos, based on field observations, says that your operations were, in some parts of the country, peppered with coinage of votes in favor of the Democratic Rally of the Cameroonian people (CPDM, in power).
