The objective of this visit was to promote and enhance subcontracting companies with predominantly Congolese capital. The ARSP has undertaken a control of subcontracting activities in all companies in order to support the creation of a true Congolese middle class, in accordance with the vision of the President of the Republic.
During his meeting with officials of Tenke Fungurume Mining, Miguel Kashal expressed his satisfaction with the company’s commitment to collaborate with ARSP inspectors.

They expressed support for the ARSP in its control of subcontracting activities and expressed their desire to see large companies like Tenke Fungurume Mining fully take into account the subcontracting law.
This visit to the province of Lualaba marks a new important step in the promotion and valorization of subcontracting with Congolese capital. The involvement of the President of the Republic in this process demonstrates his commitment to the economic independence of the country.
The establishment of a true Congolese middle class is essential for the economic and social development of the country. The ARSP will continue to work in collaboration with companies to ensure that subcontracting with Congolese capital is fully integrated into the country’s economic activities.
This visit to Tenke Fungurume Mining once again highlights the importance of subcontracting with Congolese capital in the private sector. The ARSP continues its fight to promote this practice, thus allowing Congolese companies to play an active role in the country’s economy and contribute to the creation of the long-awaited middle class.
Miguel Kashal’s visit to Tenke Fungurume Mining constitutes a positive step in realizing the vision of the President of the Republic. It is essential that all stakeholders work together to ensure the success of Congolese-owned subcontracting and to open up new opportunities for local entrepreneurs.
