Title: The ARSP notes failures in compliance with the law on subcontracting in Lualaba
Introduction :
The regulatory authority for subcontracting in the private sector (ARSP) recently carried out an inspection tour in the Lualaba province. Unfortunately, the results of this visit revealed numerous failures in respecting the law on subcontracting, particularly on the part of the companies SICOMINES and KAMOA. In this article, we will return to the bitter findings of the ARSP and the call for a sense of responsibility launched to the actors concerned.
Development :
During its inspection tour, the ARSP closely scrutinized the subcontracting practices of several companies in Lualaba. Unfortunately, the companies SICOMINES and KAMOA have been singled out for their non-compliance with legal provisions regarding subcontracting. These companies have been accused of not giving local subcontractors a fair share of contracts and profits.
This situation highlights a blatant imbalance between major contractors and local subcontractors, who are deprived of economic and development opportunities. The ARSP stressed that this situation is unacceptable and that it is essential to put an end to this discriminatory practice.
In an interview, ARSP spokesperson Louis Watum expressed his concern about this situation and called on the companies concerned to take their responsibilities. According to him, it is essential that contractors respect the law of subcontracting and offer fair opportunities to local subcontractors. He also stressed that ARSP will do everything possible to enforce the law and protect the rights of subcontractors.
Conclusion :
The ARSP’s bitter observation regarding non-compliance with the subcontracting law in Lualaba highlights a persistent problem in the private sector. The companies SICOMINES and KAMOA have been accused of depriving local subcontractors of fair and equitable economic opportunities.
It is imperative that the companies concerned become aware of their responsibilities and act in accordance with the law. ARSP will continue to closely monitor the situation and implement measures to enforce the law.
It is also crucial to raise awareness among private sector actors of the importance of fair subcontracting and to promote responsible business practices. Only harmonious collaboration between local contractors and subcontractors will make it possible to create an environment conducive to economic and social development in the Lualaba region.
