Cameroon’s Minister of Transport, Allen Mebe Ngo’o, in trying to right his wrong in buying 2 damaged MA 60 Chinese planes instead has pressed the ‘PANIC BOTTON’ by deciding to put the lives of Cameroonian population at the cross road.

Alafnet intelligence officer in Yaounde says Mr Ngo’o has forced the Cameroon Civil Aviation authority (CCAA) to issue a certificate of air worthiness to the two Chinese aircraft MA 60 military turned commercial planes in an exposed financial scandal with preferential loan agreement of FCFA 34.4 billion, whereas Congo Republic spent only FCFA7 billion to purchase two brand new aircrafts from the same Chinese Company.

Mbebe Ngo’o did this while he was the minister of defence. According to our informer the CCAA did everything to discourage Mebe Ngo’o to this action sighting safety concerns, but Mr Ngo’o is quoted to have said ‘sign it we will cross the bridge when we get there’.

These aircraft, MA60 aircrafts which the SDF had rightly described as ‘flying coffins’ following their history were assembled by the AVIC International Holding Corporation in China, now painted in Camair-co colours, arrived in Douala April 1, 2015.and have been in the Cameroonian soil for 8 months with out use as both have failed every safety checks by the Cameroon Civil Aviation thus, it has been difficult to get a certificate of airworthiness.

Specailly in the last 6months it should be noted that The two MA 60 aircrafts were officially received at the Air Force Base close to the Douala International Airport by the then Minister Delegate at the Ministry of Transport, Mefiro Oumarou.Ironically, instead of the General Manager of Camair-Co, Jean Paul Nana Sandjo, to present the aircrafts to the public, it was instead General Momha who had travelled to China for this mission to accompanied the aircraft to Cameroon, who did the presentation.

The Camair-Co boss was more of a spectator at the occasion, which left many people asking rhetorical questions. Exciting too the then minister of transport Robert Nkili washed his hands off the shady deal when questioned in parliament. Nkili reportedly said, when he was appointed Ministry of Transport in December 2011; he met the file on the table and so had no power to cancel the deal according by Cameroon post online.
