The fight for the regulation of subcontracting activities in all areas of the national economy in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has recently been strengthened. This was marked by the visit of the Director General of the Private Sector Subcontracting Regulatory Authority, Hon. Miguel Kashal Katemb, to China Railways Engineering Corporation 7 and 8. The purpose of the visit was to oversee operations to ensure compliance with the law on subcontracting and its various implementing measures.
The managers of the CREC 7 and CREC 8 companies welcomed the inspection mission and affirmed their availability to collaborate with the ARSP (regulatory authority for subcontracting in the private sector). The latter insisted on the importance of collaboration with companies to achieve the vision of the Head of State Félix Tshisekedi aiming to emerge a real Congolese middle class. The managers of the companies visited understood the message very well and showed their willingness to comply with the law.
According to the Director General of the ARSP, the good cooperation between China and the DRC was an interesting opportunity for Congolese companies and subcontractors. Still in the same context, links with the media also seem to be consolidated. A publication made on the blog of Fatshimétrie ONG offers other articles relating to the economy and politics of the DRC to improve understanding on these subjects. Several topics are discussed, such as the electoral process, the economy, security in the east of the country, etc.
In conclusion, the visit of the Director General of the ARSP to the CREC 7 and CREC 8 companies demonstrated a determination to ensure rigorous regulations for subcontracting activities in all sectors of the national economy.
