Controversy

Working condition

In 2020, the Central African staff moaned the poor conditions that they received, such as salaries, no benefits, and the suspension of loans for two years. This condition contradicted the expatriates who gained higher wages and benefits. Hence, the local staff demanded an increase in wages by up to 50% and regular payment of benefits. [7] [8]
