Cameroon Journal, Yaounde – Etoundi Oyono, suspended former General Manager of the Douala Port Authority, PAD, who returned to the country on December 22, 2015, after allegations he fled the country to avoid charges of fraud and embezzlement has been summoned by the Special Criminal Court, SCC, to answer two charges of embezzlement of state funds before the state court.
Etoundi, who was feared ‘missing’ after he did not return to the country from an official mission to Amsterdam – Holland, was later said to have been receiving medical treatment abroad after the September 21, 2015, mission.
we gathered that Oyono is due to appear before the SCC on Friday, January 15.
The PAD general manager, who was eventually replaced by an interim in his absence, is not oblivious of the charges against him as he has been called by the SCC more than once to answer same charges of embezzlement of public funds.
we learned that Oyono has to answer charges related to financial impropriety. It is alleged that CAMERICRUS Corporation, a company involved in fishing and related activities along Cameroon’s coastal waters sometime in the past took Oyono to court for violating the terms of the cooperation agreement they signed with the government of Cameroon represented by Oyono. They have also alleged that Etoundi, while serving as PAD GM, funneled the sum of 45 MFCFA meant for the gov’t into his personal account instead of the state treasury.
Oyono is also being accused of diverting the sum of 60 MFCFA into his private account, attributing it to a debt owed one Mr. Tessa, when he was manager of the Cameroon Debt Recovery Corporation, SRC.
