Punishment for leading strikes?

Mama Fouda transfers leaders of Doctors’ Syndicate to enclave zones
Minister of Public Health Andre Mama Fouda
The Minister of Public Health Andre Mama Fouda has become the target of scathing attacks from some personnel of the medical corps, following his recent transfer of some specialist medical doctors from urban hospitals to enclave, less equipped hospitals in far-fetched localities.
                The doctors transferred are mostly leaders of the Doctors’ Syndicate, who have for some time now being instigating sit-down strikes in hospitals in the country. Also, most of the victims of Mama Fouda’s “punitive transfer decision” are doctors working in hospitals and hospital centers in the Northwest region, according to an open letter addressed to the Minister by one of the doctors, DR. Richard Moses.

                In his letter, Dr. Richard Moses is calling on the minister to not only withdraw his decision but to also resign his office because according to him, Mama Fouda has exhibited his intolerable limits and gross incompetence as minister of health.
                Describing the Minister as a “weapon of mass destruction”, Dr. Richard says Mama Fouda’s inopportune decision will have the disastrous effect of causing the death of thousands of Cameroonians who have been deprived of their right to life and good healthcare.
                All the doctors concerned by the minister’s decision have been asked to vacate their former duty posts and regain their new job sites with immediate effect or face sanctions, we learnt.
