In Buea, the city of legendary hospitality precisely in Bueatown, the issue of no light has been a call for concern. Earlier this morning a protest broke out by the women barely 1week of protest by the men  on the issue of no light.

Some  women of the locality took it upon themselves through a peaceful match protest to the DO’S office to lay their complaints about the issue of no electricity. A witness recounts that ‘’ we have suffered a lot with the issue of no light going to a month now, some of us doing businesses that really has to do with the use of light, we cant because of no light. This has led to poor income on our parts and we barely feed our families that’s why we the women have decided to take this peaceful match to the DO’S ofiice’’ so something can be done.

Meanwhile few days back, some workers of Cameroon Development Cooperation (CDC) in Tiko, South West region of Cameroon were on the streets on Tuesday 13th October 2020 demanding 13 months of salary. 

Recounts from one of the workers say, they need to send their children to school and they can't do so due to no payment. Again, to one of the workers at the Miselele rubber plantations. '' we have not been paid salary for 13months. How do they expect us to survive during this period of back to school? We risk our lives everyday working in the plantations yet management is just unnecessarily wicked. Despite this, workers of CDC industrial unit are said to have informed the management of their  suspension of work from the 25th of October 2020 if their salaries are not given, they as labourers deserve their wage. As concern some workers sent on retirement recently, CDC workers say they are paid less than 5% of their salaries

“We are protesting because the general manager of CDC told a lie to the press that he has paid us 3 months salary for back to school which  is a big lie because we have not received any money” One of the workers speaks in anger and that the downfall of CDC today in Tiko and other parts of the South West region of Cameroon has partly damaged the economy not only in the South West but the entire country
