On Wednesday May 29, 2024, the president of the non-profit organization Le Bouclier, Jean-David E’ngazi, organized a press briefing full of crucial revelations in Kinshasa. Light was shed on a financial donation granted to the organization by the Chinese company Manono Lithium Sas. This initiative aimed to restore the reputation of the non-profit organization, tarnished by slanderous allegations circulating on social networks.
In a speech displaying confidence and transparency, Jean-David E’ngazi revealed to the press documents confirming his innocence following investigations carried out by the national financial intelligence unit (CENAREF). The details of the investigation, carried out over a period of two months, were presented and the conclusions exonerated the NGO of the unfounded accusations.
The financial surveillance carried out by CENAREF confirmed the legality of the operations carried out, thus putting an end to the speculations orchestrated with the sole aim of discrediting the non-profit organization Le Bouclier. Jean-David E’ngazi denounced the manipulation and defamation maneuvers orchestrated on virtual platforms, pointing the finger at those who fuel these harmful campaigns.
In addition, the president of the non-profit organization revealed the motivations of Manono Lithium Sas regarding the choice of their partner. This partnership is based on common and united values, centered on respect for human dignity and commitment to vulnerable populations. Le Bouclier ASBL stands out for its multi-sectoral intervention, covering areas as varied as humanitarian aid, education, health, agriculture and livestock breeding.
Recently, the non-profit association Le Bouclier provided assistance to more than 5,000 households affected by flooding in Kalemie, by distributing food and non-food items to them, and by providing a medical team. This humanitarian action is part of a long tradition of support for deprived populations, thus demonstrating the organization’s constant commitment to the most deprived.
In conclusion, the non-profit organization Le Bouclier continues to stand out for its dedication and responsiveness to humanitarian crises. The concrete actions carried out in favor of the most vulnerable demonstrate the importance of its social and humanitarian commitment, beyond rumors and malicious attacks. These revelations shed new light on the true role and positive impact of the organization in Congolese society.
