Operation Sparrowhawk: Dayas Mounoume, fugitive in Angola

The former director general of the Autonomous Port of Douala (PAD), recently convicted by the Special Criminal Court to 15 years imprisonment, has fled to Luanda, according to a reliable source.

On Monday, July 20, 2015, a Senior Executive of the technical department at PAD , who wants to remain anonymous, said he received a phone call from Nice in France. The caller's number was 3249263275. According to him, the caller was a friend of Dayas Mounoumé who informed him that, Daya called him on Saturday and disclosed that he is now in Angola. This information confirms the relationship between the Dayas family and Angola.

In 2009, the former CEO of the CSA had asked his wife, a former employee at CAMSHIP, to resign and work with another shipping company, based in Angola.

The truth is that Jean Marcel Dayas Mounoumé took to his heels to escape prison. It makes it difficult to understand how a former public credit manager, sued for the embezzlement of 437 million FCfa, may appear free without any medical reasons.

Other sources revealed that five days before the Special Criminal Court (TCS) judgment, Dayas Mounoume knew the outcome of the verdict against him. How then could he not prepare his exit from Cameroon?

Mafia dealings in Cameroon

The fight against corruption is far from producing a real change in public morals. In the current government, everyone tries their best to pleases their heads to get a position in the 3rd Republic; a practice which is imminent.

Between 2008-2012, Dayas Mounoumé named CSA against all odds, this port institution plundered shamelessly. A "highwayman" liable for a sum of 150 million FCfa to the National Port Authority in 2007, according to a report.
The number of fugitives, as part of Operation Sparrowhawk, continues to grow for the simple reason that corruption has taken up residence in all arteries of the administration.

Even without passports, Cameroonians cross the borders without obstacles. Ze Jean Blaise who robbed Campost of 3 billion FCfa is currently in Turkey; Dieudonné Ambassa Zang, former Minister of Public Works, is now on ‘political exile’. Dayas Mounoumé has fled to Angola. Poor Cameroon!
