On Vision 4 on March 25, 2018, Professor Mathias Eric Owona Nguini attempted to explain the problem.

The political scientist said from the outset that he is for him, it is systemic and civilizational."The fight against corruption as it is conducted is like emptying the sea with a bucket of water. So we can not do it. The fight against corruption in these kinds of conditions can not work with an option that is repressive but that in reality can not have all the means of an appropriate repression, " he said.

According to him everything is linked to the matrix, "to the hegemonic nucleus of our institutions which are of external origin. In other words, the institutional machinery that controls the collective existence of Cameroonians is not the direct product of the will of the social actors that make up Cameroon . "We have not yet digested these external institutions as much as we could digest them." Owona Nguini speaks of institutions based on the primitive matrix of Western institutions. 

He quotes the royal absolutism constituted between the 13 th and 17 thcenturies and which is the basis of modern states. This, he explains, means that what we have been given in the colonial experience is the primitive Western state which is actually an absolutist state decorated with the signs of a modern, western, post-colonial state. absolutist who in the background does not change

This type of state, Professor Owona Nguni informs, is incarnated in Cameroon and in practically all African countries a monocratic institution based on the government of only one called the President of the Republic. He believes that it is also the fault of the globalization carrying corruption because of the radicalization of capitalism.
