This article examines the controversy sparked by the decision of the National Insurance Company (Sonas) in Kindu, Democratic Republic of Congo, to replace insurance certificates with payment tokens. While Sonas says the move is temporary pending the arrival of the certificates, many observers question the legality and transparency of the practice. Motorcyclists denounce the fact of receiving payment tokens instead of certificates, which raises questions about the management of the funds collected by Sonas. Observers call for reassuring measures to guarantee the transparency and reliability of the insurance system in the DRC.
