Presidency:Staff decry several months of salary arrears

Just days after the celebration of the International Labour Day, the newspaper Epervier edition of May 4, 2016, indicates that at the main stewardship of the Presidency of the Republic, the climate is not rosy. In this instance of the Unity Palace, led by Foe Ndi, some employees say they are without pay.

The newspaper reveals that in fact fictitious employees were identified in the stewardship. “Large sums of money were spent every month for their care.” Noting, therefore, the severity of the problem and to solve it, the President of the Republic Paul Biya instructed in November 2015, the contracting of more than 2000 staff aged under 40.

“He did it in the context of preserving peace. However, the instruction of the Head of State was ignored. The staff is already accusing more than six months of salary arrears, “said the newspaper.

According to sources of the newspaper, those employees who receive their pay, only get in half or receive it “in kind“: “There is a drop in bonuses. It drops from FCFA 25 000 to FCFA 20,000.

The fuel bonuses per quarter reserved for those who have matriculation numbers are given according to the aspirations of the men of the principal steward.

There are even those who have already spent two-quarters without having a penny. ” However, an accusing finger is pointed towards Foe Ndi, the main steward, who would be the one that is causing all these maneuvers.
