[2] Mebara was a member of the national committee for the coordination of President Paul Biya's re-election campaign in the October 2004 presidential election.
In that letter, Mebara accepted the offer made to him by the General Manager to try and protect government funds that GIA has misappropriated and were illegitimately holding in their accounts to provide a presidential aircraft to the president of Cameroon.
[citation needed] Contrary to public belief, Mebara was not involved in the purchase of a BBJ presidential aircraft which was consummated by his predecessor.
Mebara has suffered immense physiological and mental trauma since being held captive in prison on trumped-up corruption charges.
On 3 May 2012, Mebara was acquitted by presiding judge Gilbert Schlickof the Mfoundi high court in Yaoundé of all charges of embezzling or attempting to misappropriate the BB jet funds.
