 Cameroon's Media Leader Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison  Amadou Vamoulke, the former head of Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV), has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Special Criminal Court in Yaoundé. Accused of embezzling 2 billion FCFA, a figure that was originally 16 billion FCFA, his case has sparked debate and concern. Many believe the charges against Vamoulke are baseless.

Barrister Akere Muna, who knows Vamoulke personally, described him as a man of integrity and transparency, known for his honest management at CRTV.
