Ex-employees of 48 state companies demonstrate at the finance ministry

Ex-employees of 48 liquidated or restructured state institutions demonstrated at the Ministry of finance on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

They organised the protest at the main entrance of the building housing the finances of the State managed by Mr. Alamine Ousmane Mey.

On October 22, they had already served notice of the event to the prefect of Mfoundi M. M. Jean-Claude Tsila.

On the document, the Chairman of the group, Mr. Moukondo René David, sought permission of the law enforcement forces to be able to supervise their movement.

For this reason, we are committed to come here every day until the date of the expected payment. In addition, we want to remind the Minister that 6,000 other people have not been paid."

For Marc Tégué, another former employee: "The Finance Minister should take account of recommendations and conclusions of the audit of the firm B and P.
