Issa Hayatou, time to react and tell the truth
The bribe was paid to Issa Hayatou to secure lucrative TV and sponsorship contracts.
Issa Hayatou was given the money in 1995. The secret document received by journalists shows that Issa Hayatou has received these payments or kickbacks from the marketing agency ISL between 1988-1999.
Details of the secret payments received by Issa Hayatou will be revealed in a BBC program..
The list obtained by Panorama also includes details of 100,000 French Francs (£12,900) paid to Hayatou, the Fifa vice-president representing football in African nations. Hayatou also did not respond to the allegations when contacted by Panorama. During the preparation of the world cup 1990, ISL has a link in Cameroon with the sponsorship and also the TV contracts.
Fifa also declined interview requests to address the allegations. This year, the 15th annual report of the Corruption Perception Index from Transparency International released, put Cameroon in a similar position and rank as Zimbabwe.
It will not be a surprised for a Cameroonian Issa Hayatou to be accused of corruption. For the moment there is no statement from Caf and even a call for Issa Hayatou to resign for his post as Caf president.
