Faced with a scourge that is eating away at the African continent, the Congolese public finance policeman, Jules Alingete, is sounding the alarm on unpunished illicit enrichment: “an obstacle to the development of Africa”.
On Twitter, his thesis garners many supporters. Congolese are rallying to his fight, denouncing the corruption and unpunished illicit enrichment that are hampering the development of the continent. Indeed, crooked politicians, embezzlers of public funds, continue to lead states while posing as lecturers.
For Jules Alingete, the inversion of values is a brake on the take-off of the black continent. In his remarks, he highlights the practice of lying, deception, treason, unpunished illicit enrichment, and the primacy of mediocrity over excellence having taken up residence in African politics, as many obstacles to any development.
While some politicians resist these demeaning practices, most continue to perpetuate them, endangering the people they claim to serve. Faced with this, the DRC is building an arsenal to fight against corruption and prevent any embezzlement of public funds.
To continue this fight, Jules Alingete represents an inspiring icon. The mobilization against the impunity granted to embezzlers must continue for the economic well-being of Africa.
In short, corruption and unpunished illicit enrichment are the major obstacles to the development of African countries. It is time to mobilize to reverse this trend and build a better future for the continent
