Finance minister clashes with Customs director again

Minister of Finance, Alamine Ousmane Mey has issued a radio communique to reverse recent appointments by the Director of Customs, Minette Libom Li Likeng on grounds that he (Ousmane Mey) was not consulted by his subordinate.

The communique which was read over CRTV has exposed the cracks between the two. It should be recalled that some months ago, Minette Libom Li Likeng refused to proceed with the installation of an official in charge of auditing appointed by the boss.

The said auditor we learnt has been abandoned to himself ever since he was appointed. The issue we were also informed has been reported to the Prime Minister.

A classified source hinted this reporter that when the Director of Customs did the appointment, she hurriedly moved out of the country.

The Yang led government is seemingly in serious difficulties when judged from the number of conflicts between top officials.
