Cameroon lost more than FCFA 100 billion to corruption in 2023, according to a recent report from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (CONAC).

CONAC's Budgetary Disciplinary Committee took action against officials from six organizations, including the National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF) and the Cameroon Real Estate Corporation (SIC). Some managers were held responsible for a total of FCFA 6.1 billion in financial damages.


Rev. Massi Gams noted that the total amount owed to the state is estimated at FCFA 38.5 billion. The Special Criminal Court recovered around FCFA 1.47 billion, while an additional FCFA 7 billion was reclaimed through debt recovery, totaling FCFA 8.5 billion in recovered funds.
