Three high profile personalities including a former minister have been detained
in Yaoundé for alleged financial malpractices. They were hawked by the famous
anti-corruption operation "Sparrow Hawk”. Reports say Louis Max Ohandja, former
Secretary of State to the Minister of Public Works, in charge of roads, Jean
William Sollo, former boss of a public company and Bruno Bekolo Ebe, former
rector of the University of Douala, were placed Wednesday night in custody in Kondengui, the central prison of Yaounde .
They are accused of transforming state funds into private pockets, but according
what we gathered the amounts will be known only after the judicial proceeding
will be opened. It is said that the Special Criminal Court (TCS), a judicial
body that indicted the three personalities is working round the clock
interrogating other accomplices.
William Sollo, according to the same
source, is subject to a procedure for alleged misappropriation of funds within
the Cameroon water utilities corporation (Camwater). From 2012 to 2016, Mr.
Sollo managed this public company, which recently took over water distribution
service from a private company.
Bekelo Ebe is suspected of financial
malpractices at the University of Douala. In 2014, the Fiscal and Budgetary
Disciplinary Committee, an official investigation unit on governance issues in
public administrations and public companies, declared Bekolo Ebe debtor of the
sum of 2.4 billion FCFA
