LE PHARE, in its delivery yesterday, July 23, 2019, described the resignation of Dr. Oly Ilunga as Minister of Health, in a government deemed to have resigned for two months, of flight forward.

The daily newspaper of Lukusa Avenue did not really think so well. Indeed, according to reports from the judiciary, the Secretary-General for Health, Dr. André KatukumbaniMupelela, has recently lodged a complaint in due form to the General Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation against minister of guardianship.

It is suggested that as soon as the complaint was received, the Attorney General of the Court of Cassation, Flory Kabange Numbi, promptly referred the matter to the Assistant Commissioner General of the Judicial Police for an investigation. At this stage of the pre-trial investigation, the content of the letter of the Secretary-General for Health is kept ultra secret.

But some think that the initiative of this senior of the health administration could be linked to serious acts of mismanagement, either funds or stocks of medicines, or even medical kits by the resigning minister of health.

However, it is recalled that, following the resignation of Oly Ilunga, several anonymous persons who spoke on social media networks and in the media suspected him of not having got out of his own hands in managing the funds handed by the Congolese government and its external partners in the fight against Ebola hemorrhagic fever in the east of the country.

Some have even gone so far as to accuse him of having turned Ebola into a business by pulling the riposte actions in order to make enough butter. Indiscretions emanating from the Ministry of Health reveal that this former member of the government would also have shone by a great opacity in the management of funds for the fight against several diseases and vaccination campaigns.

Some observers even think that Oly Ilunga would have rushed to resign in order to sow doubt in the minds and to present himself, when the time comes, as a victim of settlements at the level of the presidency of the Republic and his own ministry.

In any case, both national and international opinions are anxiously awaiting the conclusions of the police investigation pending before it, as well as the result that the Attorney General of the Constitutional Court intends to reserve. One thing is certain: it is not for nothing that the Secretary-General for Health has impeached his former minister of guardianship. File to follow.
