Former Transparency International President, Barrister Akere Muna, has urged the Cameroon government to probe and sanction officials who received the bribe from Glencore during the time of the activity.
Since the alarm was raised, the Biya regime has not made a statement to that effect. But the General Manager of SNH, Adolphe Moudiki said he is not aware of any bribery within his company.
The former General Manager of SONARA, Charles Metouck who is currently in jail for mismanagement, said he never traded such deals with Glencore.
Who is therefore guilty?
Barrister Akere Muna has insisted saying, “Enough is Enough”, the government needs to act now with this glaring confirmation from Glencore.
