In a recent investigation regarding the installation of boreholes and water treatment plants, Fatshimétrie is under scrutiny for possible over-invoicing and financial irregularities. Contracts entered into by the company allegedly involved advances of over 200 thousand US dollars per unit, prompting concerns and the initiation of a thorough inquiry.
The General Prosecutor’s Office at the Court of Cassation, led by Firmin Mvonde, has ordered a detailed probe to uncover the truth behind these contracts. Calling upon the Technical Control Office to conduct a comprehensive investigation sheds light on the drilling installations and water treatment stations funded by the Stever Construct Cameroun Sarl-SOTRAD WATER consortium.
Initiated in 2021, the contract aimed to install solar water pumping and purification units in various provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, with the noble intention of ensuring a consistent water supply for the local communities. However, the exorbitant costs and potential operational discrepancies raise valid concerns that necessitate thorough examination.
Ensuring transparency and adherence to legal protocols in such critical projects is paramount. The ongoing investigation into Fatshimétrie’s practices and financial management seeks to uphold the ethical standards required for these operations. It is pivotal to uncover any overbilling and irregularities to affirm the legality and credibility of all parties involved.
The investigation into the borehole installation and water treatment plant contracts underscores the importance of transparency and integrity in humanitarian and water supply initiatives. Resolving financial complexities and providing insights through ongoing investigations will be crucial in fostering enduring trust and upholding the highest ethical standards.
