Presidential Directive Leads to Salary Suspension for 2,326 Personnel in Cameroon's Ministry of Secondary Education

In a recent development, the salaries of 2,326 personnel from the Ministry of Secondary Education in Cameroon have been suspended due to irregular absences. This decision was communicated through a press release on radio by Nalova Lyonga, the Minister of Secondary Education.

The minister revealed that this move aligns with directives from the President of the Republic concerning the phenomenon of public service employees abandoning their positions.

These salary suspension measures have been implemented as a conservative step this month against the personnel who have been reported as absent and have failed to provide justifications for their administrative positions.

The suspension of salaries serves as a response to the issue of some public servants deserting their posts, in line with the President's commitment to addressing such instances. It reflects a commitment to enforcing discipline within the public service and ensuring accountability.

This decision not only acts as a deterrent but also emphasizes the importance of accountability and responsibility among government employees. The Ministry of Secondary Education's initiative aims to encourage a more diligent and committed workforce while reinforcing the principles of good governance within the public sector.
