 Cameroon's Media Leader Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison

A thorough audit of CRTV's accounts showed that the funds in question were actually debts owed to the broadcaster. Barrister Akere Muna, who knows Vamoulke personally, described him as a man of integrity and transparency, known for his honest management at CRTV.

His imprisonment is viewed by many as a troubling reflection of Cameroon's political climate, where corruption is allegedly widespread. As Muna put it, "It's heartbreaking to see an innocent man suffer, while others flaunt their wealth gained through corruption."
