Early Life And Education

Engonga, born in 1970, has established a solid professional trajectory as an economist and dedicated public servant.

Having Baltasar Engonga Edjoo, the President of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), as his father, gives him a unique prominence within influential circles in Equatorial Guinea. 

His academic background in economics and finance was further enhanced by obtaining a degree from the University of Malabo.

Career

Taking on the role of leadership at ANIF, Engonga was entrusted with the responsibilities of spearheading financial inquiries and implementing measures to combat corruption. 

His pivotal role in addressing instances of corruption and incompetence within the government significantly contributed to the overall mission of enhancing transparency and accountability in public administration.

Scandal

In November 2024, Engonga found himself at the center of a scandal as law enforcement uncovered a trove of more than 400 explicit videos as part of a fraud probe linked to his behavior. 

The videos allegedly depict him partaking in intimate acts with various women, including notables like the President of Equatorial Guinea’s sister and other officials’ spouses.

After some videos that allegedly showed Engonga in his office were leaked online, many people got very upset. They demanded that Engonga face consequences for his actions. Vice President Teodoro Nguema said that such behavior is not okay in the government and that those who break the rules will be punished.

Engonga’s recent arrest and the subsequent investigations have not just questioned his personal decisions but have also raised concerns about potential health hazards linked to his extramarital affairs.

The controversy not only risks his good name but also sheds light on ethical questions within Equatorial Guinea’s leadership. Going from fighting corruption to being involved in a scandal, Engonga’s journey shows how important it is to be responsible and honest in public roles. 

As investigations continue, the consequences of his actions may create ripples in Equatorial Guinea’s political sphere.

Personal Life

Engonga, who is married and has six children, faces a tough situation as a scandal impacts both his personal life and job.
