(Business in Cameroon) - At the end of the civil servants' physical count organized by Cameroon in June 2018, 36,000 out of the 310,786 civil servants who used to sign officially the payroll did not present themselves to the census officials. Apart from those 36,000 absentees, 8,000 servants presented themselves with irregular documents. Officially then, the number of presumed fake civil servants is 44,000 for the time being.

It is worth reminding that in April 2018 when the physical count operation was launched, the minister of finance Louis Paul Motaze explained that it was organized to identify and remove all the civil servants who sign the payroll register irregularly due to unjustified absence, resignation, or undeclared deaths.
