Despite being sick, some government functionaries cling to their positions

Deputy Prime Minister, Minister at the Presidency of the Republic in charge of Relations with the Assemblies, Ahmadou Ali is in a hospital in France since October 14, 2015.

A prey to health problems, he was evacuated aboard an air ambulance on the instructions of the Head of State Paul Biya. The Vice-Pm is not the only person admitted in a hospital outside the country. "In the list of evacuated members of government in Europe is also the Deputy Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic, Peter Agbor Tabi," reports the daily Mutations in its edition of October 21, 2015.

"Their absence is detrimental especially when Peter Agbor Tabi has a particular role of centralization and coordination of intelligence," says the newspaper.

According to Mutations,"other ministers and senior state members committed regularly at the expense of taxpayers shuttle between Europe and Cameroon for treatment." Examples of the Secretary of State to the police, Jean Baptiste Bokam and General Dagafounansou were discussed.
