2014 FIFA WC: Cameroonian MPs grill Sports minister on Lions' defeat in Brazil

Yaoundé, Cameroon (PANA) – Cameroonian parliamentarians, who met in ordinary session here, Friday grilled the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Adoum Garoua, on the defeat of the Indomitable Lions at the ongoing 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, parliamentarian sources told PANA.

Martin Oyono, a Member of Parliament from the ruling democratic rally of the Cameroonian people (Rdpc), demanded that a parliamentary investigation be opened into the current management of the Cameroonian football federation (FECAFOOT).

His counterpart, Jean Michel Nitcheu, from the Social democratic Front (Sdf), asked the minister to present a clear financial evaluation of the trip to Brazil.

In response, the minister said that a financial situation cannot be done for the time being because the team had just returned home from Brazil.

He expressed the wish that the parliamentarians and all Cameroonians should wait for the results from the investigation ordered by President Paul Biya.

The Indomitable Lions, Cameroon national soccer team, was eliminated in the first round with defeats by Mexico, Croatia and Brazil.
