Luc Mbongue, former civil servant claims 500m from the state

Luc Mbongue, a former civil servant has made a claim of 500 million from the state. He indicated that his official salary was suspended 31 years ago.

Luc Mbongue, once a french and literature teacher, stationed at the Lycée of Akonolinga, had to live without pay because he had been suspended, following a disciplinary record meted out by the headmaster of the institution.

Indeed, it appeared that Luc Mbongu’s salary was suspended on the sole basis of a disciplinary report. And yet, beginning in 1983, the concerned lodged an application for the initiation of an investigation.

At the time, Luc Mbongue notified the provincial delegate of the Centre South, the Director of secondary Education, the Secretary General of the Ministry of National Education and the Minister himself but unfortunately, all his petitions were not addressed.

This however sowed the germs of revolt in a man who once was free spirited. Luc Mbongue committed the irreparable by publishing a manifesto entitled proof by 4 and 9. "The booklet of about 100 pages denounced the feudal and dictatorial regime of Yaoundé and was advocacy of a multi-party system."

Today, Luc Mbongue continues to lambast detractors saying, "we were in a context of single party. Cameroon functioned as the France and the country where the small citizen is not entitled to justice. Cameroon has the image of a jungle".
