Paul Biya's Untouchable Ministers
Without sinking into denunciation or inquisition, one is nevertheless surprised by the curious mildness of the judicial system of Cameroon with regard to the immense fortunes accumulated - inevitably badly acquired - by the "Sons of the President": Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o (Minister of Transport), Louis-Paul Motaze (Minister of Economy, Planning and Regional Development), and other close relatives of Mr. Paul BIYA.
Would all presidential immunity extend to her extended and putative family?Especially when one knows that it has sometimes been enough of simple rumors or speculation of "embezzlement of public money", so that some great state clerks are thrown in the pasture to public opinion, referred to the Special Criminal Court (TCS ), then maintained without a beginning of proof in the dying houses of the Republic of Cameroon, where they still languish in almost general indifference.
Then Mebe Ngo'o, Motaze, and consorts .... eternal untouchable ministers of "Renewal"?
To apply Article 66 of the Cameroon Constitution as quickly as possible, concerning the declaration of the heritage of the high personalities of the Republic, would certainly avoid this unfortunate double-standard impression, ultimately leading to a destabilization of the institutions and infinite settlements of personal accounts.

| Paul Biya's Untouchable Ministers |
Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo'o has so far miraculously escaped the hawking operation, which he exploited to humiliate Polycarpe Abah Abah, and the former Minister of Health Olanguena Awono, arrested in 2008 Indeed, the cameras of the CRTV in the cells of the PJ, it is him.
He even pushed the cap to the point of wanting to stop Ze Meka, but the Bad Boy was only saved freedom thanks to the ambassador of France who beheaded the lies of Mebe Ngo'o which here is the immense fortune .
The very official CRTV evoked this morning, it is true in a satirical show (Thermostat), the assertions more and more persistent on the fortune of Mebe Ngo'o. It would be huge according to the newspaper The Weather quoted by the Crtv.
Extracts from The Weather:
In an open letter, Jules Koum Koum, the newspaper's publication director, "The Young Observer", "responds to Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o, aka Baby-dog." The delivery of the fortnightly, December 29, 2010 denounces in passing the "financial bulimia" of the Minister delegate to the Presidency of the Republic in charge of Defense and égrene accumulated assets "in less than ten years" by Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o and his wife Bernadette, "former typist at Aes-Sonel de Mvan in Yaounde."
'' The Young Observer '' displays the market value of the arsenal raised by Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o: 20 dump trucks (20 million / unit-400 million FCFA), 3 Bulldozers D7 (130 million / unit - 390 million FCFA) ), 4 graders (100 million / unit -400 million FCFA), 4 compactors (60 million / 240 million unit) and 3 loader excavators (80 million / unit -240 million FCFA).
Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o is far from being just a gambler.
As a considerate man, he also invests, especially in real estate. With its castles and houses, it would build a good neighborhood: Embassy of Turkey (250 million FCFA), Residence in Odja, renovated by the Comfort-house group of Lebanese Assad (600 million FCFA investment), Residence of Zoétélé city (350 million Fcfa), Residence of Ndeng-Fong - his village - (500 million Fcfa), Building of Ebolowa city (600 million Fcfa), Residence of Sangmelima city (45O million Fcfa), 2 luxury hotels in Kribi (near one billion Fcfa).
Hundreds of hectares of land in Yaoundé and Kribi, 1 apartment in Champigny sur Marne (94), 1 apartment in Aubervilliers (93), 1 apartment in the 16th in Paris, Many investments in progress in Gabon, 10,000 luxury chairs , 25 refrigerated tents of 100 seats / unit, 400 ordinary tents, 40,000 plastic chairs, 10,000 dishes and cutlery and nearly 100,000 water glasses, champagnes and whiskey. Rolling stone carries foam. Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o will certainly not stop to fructify his assets. He continues to amass.
The car fleet of the company Prestige Limousine-car, wife of the minister delegate to the presidency in charge of the defense, is gigantic: 15 Renault Safrane, 10 Renault Express, 15 Peugeot 607 and 10 Renault Versatis.
A fortune that is relativized quickly when you take a look in the personal garage of Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o.
The Mindef is a consumer of beautiful cars: 1 Mercedes 500 S class, worth about 112 million Fcfa, 1 Lexus 430 (95 million Fcfa), 1 Mercedes class S new version (130 million Fcfa), 2 Toyota Maxima (90 million Fcfa), 2 Land Cruiser (180 million Fcfa), 2 Peugeot 607 (70 million Fcfa) and 1 DS Citroën collection year 1969 (20 million Fcfa).
The fortnightly '' Le Jeune Observateur '' also revisits Mindef's relationship with Mag-Force. The overcharging of this company is unveiled. The comparison is flagrant. Thus, as regards the combat suits, the former suppliers sold the piece at 18.285 Fcfa while Mag-Force offers it at 22.350 Fcfa. Berets were provided by the former suppliers at 5,452 CFA each), while Mag-Force provides the beret at 8,855 CFA each.
The gap between the former supplier and Mag-Force is just as visible for the leather Rangers 20,540 Fcfa per piece, for the former supplier against 24,660 Fcfa the piece for Mag-Force. Thus, nearly 4,000 Fcfa were added to the unit. Which is huge, given the volume of orders.
Jules Koum Koum pulls out the calculator: for "an order of 30,000 rangers in leathers, when you earn 4,000 Fcfa on each pair, it is exactly 120,000,000 Fcfa (one hundred and twenty million Fcfa) for a single item of an order. " Mindef took advantage of the fiftieth anniversary ceremonies to further enhance its portfolio.
Edgar Alain Mebe Ngo'o spent all the markets related to the fiftieth anniversary of the Armed Forces to his personal enterprises. Even the catering was run by her sister-in-law, Mrs Baoro, "who has done a masterful job with the minesec hijacking business."
She was responsible for the restoration of nearly 5,000 people, not to mention the fictitious names that will be added. If we take only the weighted average of 20,000 FCFA per person, that makes the trifle of 100,000,000 FCFA.
Mindef does not hesitate to use nepotism and favoritism to ensure his back. He named for that a "certain Akono", the brother of his wife, as head of the markets department. The market for "repair of the airport of Bamenda is passed to his friends of Deco-Center who have already worked with him in the repair of his cabinet that had swallowed nearly 350 million Fcfa .."
All things that seem to justify today Patriarch Gilbert Andze Tsoungui, of regretted memory, who (at the time when he was Minat) did not stop saying to the former prefect of Mfoundi: '' ... My son, you are not a statesman, but rather a businessman ... ''. But, Mebe Ngo'o, it would also be, still according to Metéo,
Affaire Albatros.
According to some languages, Mebe Ngo'o would not be foreign to the Albatros affair. Proponents of this accusation maintain that at the time when the head of state decided to buy a plane under cover of the Camair, Mebe Ngo'o was in the early hours, in some way, associated with the business. "Just as some names of personalities are thrown into pasture, his should not be ignored,"
The origin of a dubious fortune
The money of the poorly maintained soldiers during the Bakassi conflict, the fictitious markets in MINDEF ... the hijackings with the money for the purchase of new security equipment on the eve of the presidential election ( he went to buy used equipment, if I stick to what Bruno Gain told me).
