The Mwant Jet case continues to generate interest and concern, particularly with regard to the involvement of the Kinshasa/Matete General Prosecutor’s Office. A complaint has reportedly been filed against some key members of the airline, alleging serious charges such as hijacking, rebellion and usurpation of powers.
The author of this complaint, Mrs. Gueda Wicht Amani, a shareholder of Mwant Jet, appears to be seeking to hinder the revival of the company and to dismiss the efforts made without her involvement. It is important to recall that Mrs. Gueda Wicht has already tried twice to obtain the dissolution of the company, without success.
This time, her ploy appears to involve accomplices within the Kinshasa/Matete General Prosecutor’s Office. Indeed, the alleged plan is to use this complaint to issue arrest warrants for key members of Mwant Jet, sending them directly into detention, without even giving them the opportunity to respond to the charges.
This maneuver raises legitimate questions about the fairness and integrity of the judicial system in this case. The apparent objective of Ms. Gueda Wicht Amani is to regain control of the company, despite the efforts and progress made by the Provisional Administrator and the current partners to turn around Mwant Jet.
The legitimacy of Ms. Gueda Wicht’s action is contested, particularly with regard to the RCEA 264 and 277 judgments that she invokes. These judgments make no mention of her taking control of the company, but concern the annulment of the extension of the Provisional Administrator’s mandate.
It is therefore crucial that the Minister of Justice intervene to ensure the impartiality and integrity of the judicial system. The recent reforms undertaken in the justice system must lead to the establishment of a fair and transparent justice system, rising above personal and political interests.
The future of Mwant Jet and the Congolese justice system as a whole will depend on the ability of the competent authorities to ensure that ethics and legality prevail, thus putting an end to the shenanigans and abuses of power that tarnish the image of justice. The company’s lawyers have stressed that none of the members have yet been contacted by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, leaving doubts about the real motivations behind this affair.
In conclusion, it is imperative to shed light on the workings of this complex and disturbing affair, and to ensure that justice is rendered fairly and in accordance with the laws in force, in the best interests of the Mwant Jet company and the credibility of the Congolese judicial system.
