AFP - The president of Cameroon Paul Biya has "no assets in France or elsewhere", his office said Thursday, following a complaint lodged against him in Paris for misappropriation of public funds.
Martin Belinga Eboutou, a top aide, said the presidency had learned through the media of the preliminary inquiry opened by the Paris public prosecutor's office last week.
A judicial source in Paris revealed details of the inquiry to AFP on Wednesday. The complaint was lodged on November 2.
Having "no assets in France or elsewhere" President Biya "does not feel at all concerned by these denunciations," Eboutou added.

We Cameroonian just talk the
We Cameroonian just talk the talk and cannot fight the fight , too selfish , afraid to received some Bullets not like Arabs who are fighters and ready to die for their country, no Cameroonian is ready and willing to die for the rest , so let's keep quiet and deal with the fact .
I will join the fighters should there be any, I will join the revolution should there be one, but I am sure nothing will happen and the Dictator will remain until he dies naturally...
Just my opinion sorry guys.
President Paul Biya of Cameroon is a model.
Cameroonians should really sit down and take a long look into the very past ,present and the coming future and be able to get involve positively in the modeling of a better CAMEROON.
embezzlement accusations
Hello guys,
This man is the most poorest person ever exist in this modern time as a President.
Give him a break
who is responsible?
I think the allegations against president paul biya are absolutely true!!. If he denies having anything anywhere out of Cameroon, then what does he has in Cameroon?
a standard hospital, stars hotel in Paris are just some of the few examples. What does the future holds for innocent c
Cameroonians who hold a strong patriotic spirit for their motherland? If Paul Biya is not responsible for the missing funds, then who is responsible?? Imagine a president in power for over decades still facing charges of embeslement, what does the future holds for us?
BIYA answer/ Show your accounts/Investments
I am sorry that Biya had 500000 frs when he was made president. Now his watchdog Tchiroma whom we almost trusted during political liberation is dull enough to keep defending and telling lies he will never justify. Time is time and enough of the deciet. Minister keep PROPAGANDA aside. These are facts and not everone has to be a polictian to change this country. These our dearest citizen are true Cameroonians.
Fellow citizen keep pressing the charges, Biya it is time to go. Down with the dictator and embazzeler.
