Hundreds of Cameroon government employees have found themselves locked out of their offices after rolling in to work late, following a crackdown by their new Public Service Minister Ephraim Inoni. The education and finance ministries were the latest to be targeted Thursday on the orders of Inoni, who last week sacked two top officials after he made a surprise early morning visit to his own ministry and found them not at their desks.
The crackdown on longstanding practices has caused consternation among the country's civil servants.
"We don't understand why, because we arrive at the office at 8:00 am instead of 7:30, we find the doors shut in our faces and lose a day's work," one employee of the secondary education ministry told AFP Thursday.
