Fourteen workers of the Douala 3 council hauled to the disciplinary committee

Fourteen workers of the Douala 3 council who went on rampage last month were yesterday summoned to the disciplinary committee of the council for barring the way to the council, forcing council employees out of their offices and carrying with them a coffin into the council premises.

According to the officials of the council, the fourteen employees went against the norms stipulated on the penal code on how to carry out protests.

Théophile Kouapnang the Mayor of the Douala 3 council says he is acting according to the law. 

“We did everything to respect the law because all what our comrades did by locking a public office, and forcefully taking people out of their offices; bringing a casket to place in front of the building could not go unpunished” says the Mayor.

The accused are denying any wrong doing. They say the crimes levied against them are false.

However, the discipline session which was supposed to be held this Tuesday has been postponed to a later date because of the absence of the regional delegate of labour and social security as explains Mayor Théophile Kouapnang.
