**Working meeting between Jean-Pierre Lihau Ebua and Jules Alingete Key: Towards an effective clean-up of the civil service in the DRC**
Cleaning up the civil service in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is at the heart of the government’s concerns, with the main objective of ensuring rigorous and transparent management of the State’s human resources. In this context, a highly important working session recently took place between Jean-Pierre Lihau Ebua, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Civil Service, and Jules Alingete Key, Inspector General of Finance.
During this meeting, several major points were discussed, highlighting the commitment of the Congolese authorities to continue efforts to clean up the civil service file of the State. It was particularly a question of actively involving the General Inspectorate of Finance in this process, with particular emphasis on civil servants emerging from the annexed budgets. This approach aims to eliminate duplicates and fictitious agents, and to keep only real civil servants in the administrative file.
The close collaboration between the General Inspectorate of Finance and the General Inspectorate of Public Administration was highlighted as an essential pillar of this approach, ensuring a concerted and effective approach in the management of human resources of the Congolese State. This reinforced synergy between these two institutions will make it possible to optimize the sanitation work and maintain transparent and responsible governance.
Furthermore, the sensitive issue of the retirement of the Inspectors General of Finance was discussed during this meeting, highlighting the need to find a balance between the renewal of staff and the maintenance of the expertise of experienced agents. The importance of keeping some Inspectors General in office to supervise and guide young recruits was highlighted, thus ensuring continuity and the transmission of knowledge within the administration.
Finally, as part of the reform of the salary policy in the DRC, the government is committed to resolving salary inequalities and eliminating abuses related to fictitious and duplicate agents. This process of cleaning up the administrative file aims to strengthen the credibility and efficiency of the Congolese civil service, by meeting the expectations of citizens and ensuring transparent and responsible management of public resources.
In conclusion, the meeting between Jean-Pierre Lihau Ebua and Jules Alingete Key highlighted the commitment of the Congolese government to strengthen the cleaning up of the civil service, by mobilizing the resources and expertise necessary to carry out this essential mission.This approach demonstrates a strong political will to promote transparent and efficient governance, in the service of the development and well-being of the Congolese population.
