Controversial management of undeclared accounts by the Kasaï-Oriental provincial executive according to the IGF
Kasai-Oriental is once again in the news due to the provincial executive’s controversial handling of undeclared accounts. The General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) recently raised this matter, denouncing serious violations in the framework of expenditure and revenue of the province.
According to the IGF, two accounts, “Solidarité Kasaï-Oriental” and “AGRIPEL”, were discovered undeclared by the provincial executive. These accounts were blocked by order of the IGF last May, and since then tension has only increased between the provincial authorities and the IGF.
In a letter addressed to the provincial governor, the IGF deplores the poor treatment reserved for its delegation on a supervisory mission in Mbuji-Mayi. The inspectors claim to have been mistreated by elements of the Congolese National Police assigned to the office of the governor. For the IGF, this reflects the desire of the provincial executive to hide the serious violations discovered.
The provincial authorities, for their part, denounce the “interference” of the IGF in the management of the province. The governor argues that it is not a problem of control, but rather of quality and competence. He also believes that the IGF seeks to interfere in the management of the province, which is contrary to its prerogatives.
This case highlights flaws in transparency and financial accountability within the Kasai-Oriental provincial executive. Undeclared accounts raise questions about the use of public funds and the management of provincial resources.
For now, the accounts remain blocked, and it is essential that the situation is clarified and resolved in a transparent manner. The local population, as well as the competent institutions, must be informed of the truth and of the measures taken to ensure proper financial management.
The case of undeclared accounts in Kasaï-Oriental highlights the importance of surveillance and financial control to guarantee the responsible management of public funds. It is crucial that the provincial authorities and the IGF work together to resolve this dispute and put in place measures to avoid such violations in the future.
In conclusion, it is essential that concrete actions be taken to ensure transparency and financial accountability in the provincial executive of Kasaï-Oriental
