In response to a growing scandal involving former anti-corruption chief Ebang Engonga, the government of Equatorial Guinea has announced a formal investigation. Engonga has been linked to viral videos showing him engaging in sexual relations with multiple women, some of whom are married.
The government spokesperson emphasized that these actions severely undermine family and social cohesion, tarnishing the country’s reputation and image on the global stage. The investigation, led by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, will examine potential administrative, civil, and criminal responsibilities, with concerns over possible public health implications.
This move signals the government’s commitment to addressing the issue and holding those involved accountable, as the country seeks to protect its social fabric and public image.
“In light of these serious events, which severely undermine family and social cohesion, and considering the negative impact that this situation has on the good image of our country, tarnishing its reputation, the government, through the Public Prosecutor’s Office, has commenced a thorough investigation to establish responsibilities at the administrative, civil, and criminal levels, given the possibility of a public health impact,” reported the government spokesperson.
