That is to the Yaounde maximum security prison where embezzlers, misappropriatotors of state funds and political prisoners are kept. As we report, a dozen are languishing there in on charges for stealing government money or committing dangerous crimes against the state.
History have it on good books that all past health Ministers in Cameroon are thieves starting from Urbaine Olangenena who is serving prisons terms for stealing HIV/ AIDS money to Andre Mama Fouda who was spared after the alarming rate at which he squandered monies meant to rescue the health sector from serious health hazards then, to the present Minister who has out rightly gone notorious in the mismanagement of over 15 Billions COVID -19Funds.
We saw prison coming for the present Minister looking at how excited he was with the influx of money from the international community to contain Corona and the way he was toiling around with. Not to talk of the auction sales or businesses going on in the Regional hospitals and Delegations because of COVID (that is the greagre business or Marche).
We are all living witness to all the noise made by the Minister about national screening campaigns against COVID and nothing was effectively done. Not to talk of the continues and general outcry by the population and health personnel on the shortage in testing kids for COVID mindful of all the purchase orders placed daily by the Minister.
Coming back to the alarming and whooping sums in billions disbursed to the Minister of scientific research and all other health support agencies to combat the virus, yet nothing is seen feasibly in place?, makes mockery of the Minister and Co.
In all, one is just tempted to conclude that the Minister and his collaborators in the fight to contain COVID in Cameroon were out to swell their Bank accounts and pockets. We are all living witness to the villas belt out of COVID funds by health officials, the pooch cars bought, and monies deviated to foreign bank accounts just for this short while.
Thank God our persistent calls and whistling blowing campaigns on the alarming rate at which the Minister of health and his ten Regional Delegates were squandering COVID funds at the mercy of human lives, has been brought to books.
Their recent appearance before the special criminal court in Yaounde after several state audit resolutions will certainly land them in jail. Bear with us, just the figures, the rates and amount that has changed hands and into terrible and horrible accounts for this short while shows how wicked and greedy Manaouda is and deserves jail.
It is not for nothing that Hon. Nintcheu, SDF Parliamentarian came in calling for Mass arrest of Ministers to help the stinking situation. The situation is such that no one should be spared just as the Minister has rightly acknowledged that “he is not going to die alone”. What a Disgrace to the Medical corp in Cameroon (Thieves in borrowed Robs helping to sink the fortunes of the State).
