Motazé went from the finance ministry to the prime minister’s office in 2011, but he did not see the move as a demotion because he continues to oversee plans for major infrastructure projects. Motazé previously served as finance minister and coordinated the crafting of the Cameroun Vision 2035 strategy and the Document de Stratégie pour la Croissance et l’Emploi, which includes plans to create tens of thousands of jobs in the formal sector per year until 2020. Louis-Paul Motazé, secretary general in the office of prime minister Philémon Yang, is a key architect of the government’s economic programmes. The importance of the 75-year-old diplomat’s role in ensuring that presidential decisions are respected was underlined in February 2014, when he arrived in person at the defence ministry to secure the release of Franco-Cameroonian businessman Michel Thierry Atangana – a financial expert who spent 17 years in solitary confinement on trumped-up charges – who was still being held in prison, despite a decree for his release. ![]()
