The Court of Auditors calls for sanctions against Governor Ngobila: the rendering of accounts in question
In a letter dated August 21, the Court of Auditors sent a request to the president of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly, highlighting the absence of transmission of the draft edict on the rendering of accounts for the fiscal year of the year 2022 by the provincial government. This omission is considered a violation of article 214 of the law relating to public finances, which led the Court of Auditors to demand sanctions against Governor Gentiny Ngobila and his members responsible for the delay observed.
This request for sanction follows the criticisms already expressed by the president of the Provincial Assembly of Kinshasa, Godé Mpoy, and the vice-governor Gérard Mulumba (Gecoco) with regard to the management of the urban authority of Kinshasa by Gentiny Ngobila Mbaka.
The Court of Auditors plays a crucial role in the control of public finances and the transparency of the management of public funds. Accountability is an essential step in this process, making it possible to verify the use of public funds and to avoid any misappropriation or abuse of power.
The request for sanctions from the Court of Auditors highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of public resources. By requiring the provincial government to comply with its accountability obligations, the Court of Auditors sends a strong signal about the need to guarantee rigorous and ethical financial management.
It now remains for the members of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly to consider this request for sanctions and to adopt the appropriate measures against Governor Ngobila and those responsible for the delay noted. This case highlights the importance of increased control of public finances and the accountability of political leaders.
In conclusion, this request for sanctions from the Court of Auditors against Governor Ngobila highlights the importance of accountability and transparency in the management of public resources
