Cameroun Arrests Education Minister For Theft

This kind of thing wont happen in Nigeria rather the thieves are honoured with one or more titles, even national honours conferred on them, in fact big thieves are above the law. Even the governed would sing and rain praises on them.

Cameroun’s secondary education minister Louis Bapes Bapes was arrested and remanded in custody on suspected embezzlement of public funds, a court official and state radio in the central African nation said on Monday.

Bapes Bapes is the first sitting minister to be arrested under President Paul Biya, 81, one of Africa’s longest serving heads of state. Biya, who came to power in 1982, launched “Operation Sparrow Hawk” in 2006 to combat corruption.

The drive has seen several of his former aides, ministers and top government officials brought to court. Critics say the campaign has been used to target opponents.

Bapes Bapes, who as education minister managed one of the largest ministerial budgets in the country, was taken to the Special Criminal Tribunal in the capital on Monday.

“The judge notified him of his immediate remanding in custody at the Yaounde central prison for suspected embezzlement of public funds,” a court official told Reuters.

Cameroon state radio CRTV, quoting a statement from the court, reported the arrest but did not indicate how much the minister was accused of embezzling.

Biya created the Special Criminal Tribunal in 2012 to try officials suspected of embezzling sums equal or above 50 million CFA francs ($105,100).

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...
