Title: A reform of subcontracting in the DRC for a more transparent and prosperous economy
Introduction :
Subcontracting is a crucial subject for the Congolese economy. The visit of the Director General of the Subcontracting Regulatory Authority (ARSP), Miguel Kashal, to the facilities of the Kamoa mining company in Kolwezi, testifies to the importance given to this sector. As part of the ongoing mission to enforce the Law on subcontracting in the private sector, this visit aims to verify the application of the rules of subcontracting by all main companies and multinational companies operating in all sectors of the national economy.
Fruitful exchanges for Congolese subcontractors:
During his visit, Miguel Kashal had the opportunity to discuss with officials of the Kamoa company the secondary activities reserved for Congolese working in subcontracting. This meeting highlighted the importance of a win-win partnership between main companies and Congolese subcontractors, in accordance with the vision of the Congolese Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi. The subcontractors present welcomed the presence of Miguel Kashal and expressed their gratitude for his commitment to ensuring their rights are respected and to conveying their concerns to the Head of State.
A concrete initiative to strengthen Congolese youth:
Subcontractors are delighted to see the word given by the ARSP come to fruition. Thanks to the recommendations of the General Manager, they notice that the Kamoa company is now listening to them attentively. This represents a significant step forward for Congolese youth, who aspire to become strong and independent through subcontracting work opportunities. The realization of this vision will make it possible to strengthen the Congolese economy and offer better future prospects to new generations.
Control in Greater Katanga for a transparent economy:
The ARSP OPJ team is currently on a mission in Greater Katanga, as part of the second phase of monitoring the application of subcontracting rules. This approach aims to guarantee transparency and compliance with standards in all companies operating in this crucial region for the Congolese economy. This ARSP initiative is part of a broader approach aimed at establishing fair trade practices and promoting the development of a solid and transparent national economy.
Conclusion :
The visit of the Director General of ARSP to the facilities of the Kamoa company demonstrates the commitment of the Subcontracting Regulatory Authority to respect the rights of Congolese subcontractors. The fruitful exchange with company managers and the presence of subcontractors during this meeting illustrate the importance of a win-win collaboration for the economic development of the DRC. With the control underway in Greater Katanga, the ARSP continues its mission to guarantee a transparent and prosperous economy by ensuring compliance with the rules of subcontracting in all key sectors of the Congolese economy.
