According to Jeune Afrique, which provides this information, it is the result of an audit conducted by the General Inspection if Finances from July 17 to 31, 2019. The amount alluded to, was $ 100 million. State should pay oil tankers to compensate for the price freeze at the pump in 2017.
This information reopens the debate on the opacity that characterizes the management of public finances in the DRC. For several weeks, NGOs and civil society actors have been denouncing embezzlement in various ministries. As an example, the diversion of $ 600,000 to the Ministry of Social Affairs is recalled. This money intended for a humanitarian operation in the province of Sud Kivu would never reach the beneficiaries but would have been placed in a private account in Kinshasa.
To allow the public to see a little more clearly on the management of public finances, the National Intelligence Agency (ANR) asked for an audit of all the money spent by the various ministries since the investiture of Felix Tshisekedi in last January. The ANR putting the nose in the management of public finances through the IGF would like each of the expenses incurred by these various ministries to be examined.
