Anglophone teachers to Justice Ayah Paul “We are not interested in making personal gains” 0
The leaders of the Anglophone teachers trade unions have in a statement issued on the 13th of December 2016 condemned the actions of Justice Ayah Paul including that of the Francophone government aimed at sabotaging the strike action.

PRESS RELEASE, 13/12/2016
Meeting this 13th day of December, 2016, we , leaders of the teacher trade unions and initiators of the Anglophone education strike of 21/11/2016, noted with indignation that the press outing of H.E the Minister, Director of Civil Cabinet was a manifest display of bad faith aimed at vilifying us and painting us as intransigent, vacillating and instrumentalised. We saw the urgent need to decry this and came up with the following observations in guise of reaction.
We equally dismissed as spurious the Minister Director’s claim that we had raised other extraneous issues, especially of political note, because we did not do any such thing.

Our stupefaction is under-propped by the fact that our situation can be likened to the plight of a wailing child who has a nail lodged in the sole of his leg and his father chooses to pressurize him to stop crying instead of taking him to the hospital for the malaise to be handled with dispatch!
