Angry Ntone Ntone Suspends 11 personnel of the Douala City Council

The government delegate for the Douala city council Dr. Fritz Ntone Ntone has reacted angrily to the strike action for health insurance and other social benefits that took place at the municipal council on Monday 10 April 2017. All eleven council workers who led the strike were yesterday suspended from duty.

According to the annoyed Government Delegate, the strike leaders were grossly insubordinate as they refused to attend the meeting convened by the government delegate and preferred to attend that of the Senior Divisional Officer convened at the same time.

Arriving at the council premises Tuesday morning, the eleven personnel were not able to work because their offices were padlocked.

“Mr. Delegate made us to know that he will be sending us convocations for a meeting but we did not see any convocation from his part. As a result, we went to the SDO and discussed with him and we were satisfied” Explains a suspended worker. “We were astonished when we received messages that the Delegate has suspended 11 striking workers because of insubordination” he adds.

The Senior Divisional Officer has at now not released any official statement on the matter but Fritz Ntone Ntone on his part still remains adamant on his decision.
