This time, we will talk about international news and focus on the essential role of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) in the fight against anti-values and corruption in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The President of the DRC, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, spoke to the international press during an event held recently in New York. He praised the work accomplished by the IGF, led by Jules Alingete, in the fight against corruption in the management of the country’s public finances.
Since 2020, the IGF has been on the front line in the fight against corruption in the DRC and has produced several detailed reports on the subject. These efforts were recognized by the international Forbes magazine, which awarded an award to Jules Alingete, as well as by invitations to the Belgian Parliament, the European Parliament, Cameroon and South Africa.
In his speech, President Tshisekedi spoke of the revisitation of the Chinese contract, emphasizing that Chinese companies had won nearly 10 billion dollars while the DRC had only received less than 1 billion. This blatant imbalance has pushed the Congolese government to review this partnership, seeking a true win-win balance.
Following a recent trip to China, President Tshisekedi said Chinese partners understood the DRC’s concerns and were willing to find common ground. Chinese companies have shown enthusiasm for the proposed contract revision, aiming to ensure a balanced and mutually beneficial partnership.
Jules Alingete, as head of department of the IGF, played a crucial role in the negotiations on the revisitation of the Chinese contract. Faced with the haughty attitude of Chinese business delegates, he firmly defended the interests of the DRC, refusing to give in to pressure.
The IGF report denounced the unbalanced nature of the contract, emphasizing that the planned infrastructure had not been built and that the DRC had not benefited from the expected benefits. Chinese companies have profited more than $10 billion, while infrastructure investment projects have not materialized.
The DRC has decided to re-evaluate this partnership to ensure mutual benefits. Negotiations are underway to reach a fair and beneficial agreement for both parties.
In conclusion, the IGF plays an essential role in the fight against corruption in the DRC and contributed to the revisitation of the Chinese contract to guarantee a more balanced partnership. The work of Jules Alingete and his team is recognized internationally, demonstrating the Congolese government’s commitment to the good management of public finances.
