(Business in Cameroon) - On February 23, 2018, Philemon Yang, the prime minister signed a circular to redefine the way some high-ranking officials travel for official missions abroad.
In the circular, the minister informs that for their official trips, board presidents, managing directors and deputy managing directors of public companies will now travel in business class.
He also asks the officials to choose direct and cheaper itineraries for their flights during each official trip.
Philemon Yang explains that this measure is subsequent to a decision from the president’ whose attention was continually called on many of the officials’ excesses during their official trips.
“Apart from being organized without prior authorization from the competent supervisory authorities, the plus-value of these trips for the company is not always perceived”, he writes.
