The Cameroon Development Corporation, CDC, is reported to have paid part of the accrued salaries the corporation is owing its workers.
We observe that this comes after some 100 workers of the corporation on Tuesday 8th October 2024, engaged in a peaceful protest in Tiko to demand the payment of their accrued salaries.
The placard-wielding demonstrators, chanting songs appealed to the authorities to pay them monthly, adding that despite facing numerous security challenges they continue to report for duty, but their efforts have not been reciprocated.
The workers , who threatened they would not resume work until their salaries are paid ended their demonstration at Tiko Divisional Office.
After the workers’ protest, the General Manager of the Corporation, Franklin Ngone Njie, issued an internal momo in which he promised to pay the salaries of the workers.
We have been unable to ascertain how much of the unpaid salaries the CDC paid its workers. Some people alleged the CDC paid just one month of the several months owed the workers.
Meantime some persons have reacted negatively to the decision of the CDC to wait for its workers to demonstrate before paying them.
They persons were reacting to a call in an afternoon radio programme in a Buea based private radio station on Friday October 18th .
