Isidore Kwandja from the Francophone Games to the political games: is the director of the National Games Committee looking for political umbrellas?
In the world of the Games of La Francophonie, a case highlights the dubious financial management of the director of the national committee of the Games, Isidore Kwandja. Indeed, the General Inspectorate of Finance recently investigated the registration of six vehicles intended for the committee, which curiously were registered in the name of third parties. This situation, considered as an attempt to misappropriate public property, attracted the attention of the authorities.
In a letter addressed to Isidore Kwandja, the supplier of the vehicles, Opez Group, took responsibility for this “inconvenience” which would be due to the delay in establishing the title deeds in the name of the committee. However, will this be enough to exonerate the national director of the Francophonie Games?
It is interesting to note that in recent days, Isidore Kwandja has multiplied political publications on his Twitter account. He did not hesitate to praise the head of state, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, and to predict his victory in the presidential election in December. In one of his publications, he congratulates the Secretary General of the UDPS, Augustin Kabuya, for having masterfully led the Extraordinary Congress of the party which crowned Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo as champion for the presidential election. . This political connection raises questions about Isidore Kwandja’s true intention in this matter.
The line between the management of the Games of La Francophonie and politics then seems to blur, suggesting a possible search for political protections to avoid the consequences of this financial investigation. This situation highlights the complex links between the spheres of sport and politics in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It is important to emphasize the importance of transparency and integrity in the management of national sporting events. The Francophonie Games are an opportunity to promote culture, sport and the international influence of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Acts of corruption and embezzlement of public assets risk damaging the country’s image and compromising the confidence of international partners.
It is therefore up to the competent authorities to carry out an in-depth investigation into the Isidore Kwandja affair and to take the necessary measures to restore transparency and integrity in the management of the Games of La Francophonie. The Congolese population deserves exemplary leaders who act in the collective interest and not in their personal or political interest..
In conclusion, the Isidore Kwandja affair from the Francophonie Games to the political games highlights the dangers of questionable financial management and potentially influential political connections in the world of sport in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is essential to restore trust and ensure that major sporting events are managed with transparency and integrity, in order to promote a positive image of the country internationally
