Buea-Cameroon: Council workers vow to resume hunger strike if demands are not met

The 4 workers of the Buea council who embarked on a hunger yesterday Tuesday 23^rd May 2017 demanding over  44 months of unpaid salaries have vowed to resume striking if nothing satisfactory is done about it.

It should be noted that the total 44 months is divided as follows: 22 months for a lady, 17 months for the leader Hans Mangam, and 5 months each for two others.

Many Cameroonians have condemned the situation and call on the government to react to the plight of the workers.

“I don’t know why some Mayors think only about themselves. How a Mayor who claims his constituency does so well, allow his workers to go without food. This is shameful. The government should do something about this quick before it goes out of hand” says an angry observer

The governor of the south west region Bernard Okalia Bilai has instructed the secretary general, the chief of cabinet and the south west regional chief of councils, to have a dialogue with them. The officials at the governor’s office have promised to take a major decision over the matter in the coming days.
