Tombwama Trophy: Jules Alingete rewarded for his commitment to financial transparency
On Friday August 11, 2023, Jules Alingete, Inspector General of Finance in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was awarded the prestigious Tombwama trophy. This award comes as a tribute to the relentless efforts he has made over the past three years at the head of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), to ensure the control of public expenditure.
The Tombwama trophy, initiated by journalist Aimé Mutombo of the program RDC, infrastructure et développement, aims to reward personalities who contribute to the improvement of working conditions. And Jules Alingete, by putting in place measures to fight against embezzlement and financial embezzlement, has fully fulfilled this mission.
The fight against anti-values and the preservation of public funds have become a priority in the DRC, and it is thanks to the IGF and Jules Alingete that significant progress has been made in this area. Thanks to their efforts, state revenues have increased significantly, and the Congolese population has directly benefited.
In his statements following this recognition, Jules Alingete expressed his satisfaction and gratitude to the President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, who supported the IGF and the country’s public management control function.
The General Inspectorate of Finance has become a key player in the fight against financial excesses within public institutions in the DRC. His work has won fear and respect in ministerial offices, thereby deterring irresponsible behavior and fanciful spending.
Thanks to personalities like Jules Alingete, the DRC is progressing in the direction of transparency and financial integrity. The Tombwama trophy rewards these efforts and encourages committed personalities to continue working with energy and dedication.
In conclusion, Jules Alingete fully deserves this distinction for his remarkable work at the head of the Inspector General of Finance. His tireless fight against anti-values and his commitment to financial transparency make him a model to follow. We hope that this recognition will encourage other actors to continue to work for the improvement of working conditions and for the preservation of public funds in the DRC
