In Cameroon, a court just sentenced the ex-minister Marafa Hamidou Yaya for embezzling millions of dollars. The money was supposed to go towards buying a presidential jet, but instead he just put a fresh coat of paint on an old plane and kept the money. The situation was brought to light when the plane had problems and had to make an emergency landing. Yaya was sentenced to 25 years in prison, along with others involved. This is one of many situations that are clear examples of people abusing their power to make money. I believe Yaya is lucky no one got hurt or that a huge tragic accident did not happen, or he would be facing a more severe punishment.

Talk about how 'karma bites back' when somebody doesn't listen towards buying something that could save a life and possible others.
