A press release published on November 9, 2017, by Guinness Cameroon, the subsidiary of the world giant DIAGEO started with these lines: “there are false allegations about the recruitment of foreign professionals to replace local employees”.

The brewing company stressed that their recruitment of foreign professionals has always been in compliance with the country’s labor law and was approved, every time, by the ministry of labor and social security. The company said that it will always be like that.

The statement then continued: “it should be recalled that the number of foreigners we employ is less than 3% of the overall employees. Also, we have decided to replace our foreign professionals who left the company, following some investigations, by Cameroonians”.
