Cameroon: SRC Clarifies 7.4 Million CFA Debt Claim Against Rebecca Enonchong's Company
The Société de recouvrement de créances (SRC), a debt collection agency, has issued a statement on July 20, 2026, to clarify the reasons behind a 7.4 million CFA debt recovery action against APPSTECH, a company led by Rebecca Enonchong. The SRC explained that the debt originated from an old outstanding balance on an account opened at Union Bank of Cameroon (UBC). This clarification aims to refute claims circulating on social media that the debt recovery was politically motivated, stemming from Enonchong's recent political stances. The SRC asserts that the debt is legitimate and well-documented, providing evidence that includes account identification and operational documents, debt statements, account closure records, cession notifications, payment demands, and legal pursuit documents. The recovery targets APPSTECH, with Rebecca Enonchong identified as its director or authorized representative. She has been notified to repay the debt owed by APPSTECH, amounting to 7,434,263 CFA francs. As the company's leader, Enonchong is responsible for the debt and has the right to contest the claim or enforcement actions in court. The SRC emphasized that this is not a personal matter against Rebecca Enonchong, a prominent figure known for her public criticisms of the current regime.
The Société de recouvrement de créances' statement addresses public concerns regarding a debt recovery action against a company associated with Rebecca Enonchong, a notable figure often critical of the Cameroonian regime. By providing documentation and detailing the process, the SRC aims to establish the debt as a standard financial transaction rather than a politically motivated reprisal. This situation highlights the potential for financial and legal mechanisms to be perceived as tools for political pressure, particularly when directed at influential individuals with public platforms. Future governance frameworks in Cameroon could benefit from enhanced transparency in debt collection processes and clearer distinctions between commercial disputes and political dissent to mitigate such perceptions and ensure fair application of legal and financial systems.
