The Court of Auditors, the judicial control body of the Congolese State, recently asked the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly to take disciplinary measures against the Governor of the city, Gentiny Ngobila Mbaka. This invitation follows the reproach formulated by the Court of Auditors according to which the Governor would not have tabled his draft edict on the rendering of accounts for the 2022 financial year.
According to the First President of the Court of Auditors, Jimmy Munganga, this lack of deposit constitutes a mismanagement, under article 214 of the Law relating to public finances. This decision highlights the growing tensions between Governor Ngobila and the financial control authorities, but also the questions about the transparency of his financial management of the city of Kinshasa.
It should be recalled that Gentiny Ngobila was recently at the center of a confrontation with the former President of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly, Godé Mpoyi, who accused him of a lack of transparency in his financial management. This dispute resulted in the dismissal of Godé Mpoyi from his post at the head of the Deliberative Assembly of Kinshasa.
This new request for sanction from the Court of Auditors reinforces the suspicions that weigh on the financial management of the city of Kinshasa. It is essential that the competent authorities take the necessary measures to ensure accountability and guarantee transparency in the use of public funds.
It is also important to emphasize that the financial management of public institutions is a major issue for the socio-economic development of a region. Strict measures must be taken to prevent misuse and ensure responsible and transparent use of resources.
In conclusion, the request for sanction against the Governor of Kinshasa, Gentiny Ngobila Mbaka, emanating from the Court of Auditors, highlights the growing concerns related to the financial management of the city
