Georges Gilbert Baongla, we have not heard from you for some time. Where did you go?
I'm not missing. Except that I am very taken. I am a promoter of a structure that is involved in the financing of major projects and projects. So I felt that I had to deal more with this structure with which I have been working for almost 20 years. Today, Cameroon will benefit from the fact that I am the one responsible for the Africa zone. This company is a consortium formed by two groups, including the Le Déenti Group, which gave the International Cooperation for Development and Progress (Gdenwi). We are specialized in project financing. We provide in the field of social housing, educational, training, scientific. As an illustration, we worked on the side of Guinea, Nigeria, Ghana, England. Let's say that ' is a structure that has accepted my expertise for 20 years. We still have a major project since we have focused 80% of our work on Cameroon. As such, we took the time to make known to us by the Cameroonian authorities. Because we respect the laws and the institutions and today Gdenwi is implanted in Cameroon.
Does this mean that the press and you is a past history?
It is a construction site that is not closed, but a construction site that is in my past. I know how to give the chance to the youngest, hence the opportunity to confirm that the press for me has made its time. I am sure that I have built a lot in this site. Now I have children around me who even have businesses in communication that I prefer to silent the names.
I sometimes try to retire, but my expertise is always sought, which means that at any time I can give a point of view. We are in the process of issuing a new flank as far as communication is concerned. I pass the command stick to another person and soon we will give a new organizational chart with the new configuration through this entity known as the Group The Denial, but which now merges with the International. There is nevertheless a right of scrutiny at the level of the Board of Directors.
With this background and the expertise you present, let our readers identify more who is truly Georges Gilbert Baongla?
I wanted to talk with my resume. I do not want to hide my person. First I was born of a mother originally from Sanaga Maritime and my father is called Mr. Paul Biya. You say ... I say my father's name is Mr. Paul Biya because he is still alive and my mother died on the 17th of July 2001, and I thought that at some point I might be in the course of history. I gave my contribution, I worked for that country, I was a prosecution witness or a defense witness in the history of the press.
Now, when you say Mr. Baongla is who, my Cv must also be declined. It seems that when one does not have a CV in this country ... but I have one of consistant. A few lines for our readers ... (He calls his secretary to print his resume). But yes, a very solid Bac on the side of Vogt, I have diplomas that allow me today to anoint in the political field. I did not want to speak without bringing proofs, as I am often called proof. That does not matter, it allows me today to tell you that I have another job that I explore and this work is none other than politics.
The Cv is there, but we would like to know how the holder of the Bac C arrives in the press?
I will tell you that with a Bac C, at the time, we benefited from internships. I started my first internship in communications at the United Nations Center and after that I was co-opted in a NGO working under the auspices of the United Nations. This allowed me to enjoy communication. The Bac C for me was a challenge because I wanted to be a mathematician or pilot. I did it by challenge and with "Very good". This allowed me to go from the coast of Europe to continue my studies. So as I was a bit daring, I started thinking about politics.
My maternal grandmother, the late Ngo Mbock Esther, was linked to political affairs at the time. I got a lot of documents. I obtained a bachelor's degree in political science in 1982, a bachelor's degree in sociology in the same year, a master's degree in sociology at the University of Liège in Belgium in 1983 and then graduated from the Ecole pratique des Hautes Etudes political studies in 83 and then a doctorate in political science with "Very good". As a result of these studies, I was a promoter of a group, I worked in communication, projects and I have business management training in Oxford. I am a promoter of Groupe Le Déenti. I have assumed a variety of functions.
I come into the press because I am passionate about communication. I love to communicate.
Is the closure of your radio a bad memory after 30 years in the press?
Not at all. It is a good memory for me, the closing of the radio Le Déenti. It is the only one that has been closed for 30 years in Cameroon. History will remember that during democracy and before the Renewal, it was the only radio that was botched, because when you say "closed", it would mean that there was authority to do it. That is why I did not prefer to ester, but to give legal service against the Ministry of Communication. But I absolutely do it because today, we will never close any radio in Cameroon. For me,
Radio Le Denenti closed on 5 October 2009 and we are in February 2012, what are the real steps you have taken?
I do not like bowing when I am in my right. I am the only one who has been able to attack the Ministry of Communication in court. It is the only radio that has passed under the insignia of a good democracy under the Biya era from the side of the National Assembly. I waited for the press to echo but I waited in vain.
I was nostalgic to know that I am participating for freedom of expression in strict compliance with the standards of our society. So this is the only file that is passed in committee, I am the only promoter who said no, you have to go to court even if the laws are gossip with respect to the freedom of communication, the law of 90, j I said I'll go this should be a school case. I remain firmly convinced that I would eventually win this trial, so I am not afraid and I remain in my logic.
At one point you talked about a conspiracy. Can you name the perpetrators today?
There you give me the opportunity to speak. I would like to tell you that the one who came to close this radio is dead. This is Abah Ndzengue. For me, it is not a joy that I feel. Every story has a beginning and an end. We shut down the radio because we wanted to reach a personality. Do you know who you wanted to reach in this story?
Tell us. ..
It's Mr. Biya, it's not me. Your father? Yes. To silence me is logical because to silence Baongla is to be able to hide the right information so that people can install their media to them, their ways. It is true that there are certain media like yours that escape. So they were saying why Baongla wants so much to support the truths around the Renewal? Why he is so keen to defend the President of the Republic and his backs. The proof is that the Minister of Communication Issa Tchiroma said that I defended a little too the head of state and tickled a little more his collaborators.
Until today I continue to wait for proofs but as I can no longer do in the press. Now, as far as complicity is concerned, I can support them today by saying that when a judicial police officer or someone who is law-abiding, violates the law, because we want to use logic to say we are going to silence him, that means that there is a problem. At the time when the late lieutenant colonel - peace to his soul Abah Ndzengue, gendarmerie officer in his time had decided to close, he had let me understand that he had been instructed, he had never notified me of the object or the seizure of the closure. But, I was very surprised that he was implementing a "law" perhaps what is called their gold specifications in Cameroon, the laws are published and known. Why do people go against these laws?
He told me he was going to see the minister, and I told him that I had nothing to do with the minister. That is the first aspect. I take as witness the former Secretary General Laurent Antoine Medjo Mimtom. In our time, we exchanged. I take Mr. Tobbie Hond to witness, but our tripartite did not work for the minister, who apparently had another problem. But what surprised me was that the minister had never told me why he was closing the radio. He will dare tell me that the order comes from above. I asked him who ordered him and if he had a recommendation? He did not know that he had the eldest son of Paul Biya or someone who knew all the administrative and political machinery. And that's the right game. And I had to lead this game until today. The day when Issa Tchiroma decides to close the radio under the impulse of a number of personalities who have complained of many things.
I would like to say that if a certain Atangana Mebara complains and I have criticized her infested behavior in relation to her management of the public patrimony, if Olanguena Awono in his time I had decried through the antennae of this radio before he was arrested that he had very strong financial appetites; I was the first to take the heavy responsibility of saying that Yves Michel Fotso had skated on public money through the Albatros because I had the opportunity to meet him in other spheres like Camair where I had to talk to him and I found that my exchanges were unsuccessful because I had in front of me a child who occupied a public entity but obeyed the private rules. I have denounced a large number of officials. Today time is right. Which of the officials I gave the name is not today at the judgments?
Even those on the doormat waiting know that I said things checked by the first magistrate, the competent intelligence services. When I shouted, I said that son Fotso hijacked, people felt it was too daring. I demand this recognition from the people of Cameroon. I was hit on the fingers with the Abah Abah case. Because I had said in his time before a judge that today I am dragged for defamation and yet it is you who are going to put down this Abah Abbah. I confronted 9 lawyers. Time has proved me right.
And if today the radio was closed because I was talking about people who are actually suspected guilty today, it would mean that I did not do a bad job and to be a good son of Paul Biya, must be a laid-back man who has a lot of tact that does not make much noise. And it was from this education that I benefited from him. It is a man who speaks very little, who listens and decides at the right time.
Will your detractors tell you that you chatted too much at some point?
I chatted because people wanted me to be the halo of a small scam family in the press family. I can not accept that the public coffers be robbed because it is a friend.
For this purpose you have made many enemies? I made a lot of friends.
Friends? A lot of friends. The debate I brought back to the public square is now continuous. I am glad to hear someone say that some minister has distracted money. I was the first to say it. Almost the only one.
Today you can still recognize some friends? Can you name a few names?
How many people dragged me to court? There is few of it. What they blame me is true, maybe it's kind of the way. When someone has his prize pool hidden somewhere, he can not accept to come and say this is your hiding place. Today, I think of a Cameroon for our children.
So you start another project for Cameroon with Gdenwi. What is it?
I feel that the hand that has been extended to us by the President of the Republic is fashionable because it is not up to me today to give judgment but rather to give support in its political program respecting first of all my patriotic obligations for success. It will be my pleasure to say that his father (Paul Biya Ndlr) worked well, yesterday's press boss is today builder of the great achievements of his father of tomorrow. I started to do it a long time ago when I criticized corruption. It was at the behest of the President of the Republic. And I got down to work. I give my contribution. Quite simply.
Are not your enemies of the press of yesterday likely to follow you in this site to put the sticks in your wheels?
It is very simple. I started in this work in the press. Now I am in a context of assistance and achievements. Those who will shoot at me, that they bring the proofs that I brought. I am not a civil servant, I am not in a ministerial position. Not because I do not have the profile. But the problem is that I have not started big achievements now. The great achievements for me began since the first day when President Paul Biya was invested President of the Republic. In continuity, I can only be very comfortable.
In view of this revelation you have just made, do you think you will live up to your new status?
I was insulted in this country, people said things about me. I was not in school, I do not have a dad ... It makes me laugh because you do not know someone, but you think you know him better. So it was the same people who insulted me yesterday who apologize today. My problem is not being the son of a head of state. My problem is what I bring for my country.
It was this education that I had. I was never arrested for robbery. I just wanted to tell you that I had an education from my mother. I have an education by adoptive mother, Jeanne Irene Biya. I had an education through my father who is there and lives. I will give you a revelation. At one of my bobos, that is to say I was worried for nothing, he called his Minister of Justice, at the time it was Minister Amadou Ali to ask him what he 'was. But you think that if it were this father who did not want me to be well educated, he would not be accepting that my radio would be closed or that I could answer for a summons.
We know him legalistic ...
He is a legalist of course and it is in this sense that I go legally. I continue to say that the press is my biggest family. I am very flattered, but it is the political field that interests me now.
Georges Gilbert Baongla next mayor, deputy of the Nation, is this your new ambitions?
My ambitions are legitimate. For now, when my father gives me permission, I have a lot of respect for him, I'll talk about it. It is for me like a dictionary. If he himself says, you have the anointing, he will see that I have already taken steps. Opposed and not displeased, people do not say that the President of the Republic does not have an heir, I am first a biological heir. Now, I have a professional paternity that means that from my father, the president of the Republic, which is for me a strong entity. I do not speak because it's my father but because I have other things. Do you know that there are people who have never faced justice but in our family when you do something, you are faced with your responsibility. J ' call on these cunning little cousins, I can tell you, friends of family, to be careful, because it is no longer the court of King Peteau. If you are a biological son, you are a biological son. If you're an adopted son, you're the one. If you're a cousin, you're a cousin.
If you are a friend of the family, you remain so. Everyone will have to put himself in his place. I would also like to tell the smart little ones who want to nibble around to create destabilization within our family that they know that I do not like it at all and that I would soon call to order anybody will sniff badly at the corner. I call this septennat, that of moral sanitation, challenge and construction. With the anointing of the President of the Republic, we will follow his steps. And our reassured look is to arrive with well-established objectives that are beneficial to all the Cameroonian people.
