According to the deputy of #Kipushi , Nanou #Memba , 3,424,000 $US per day of the money collected by tolls on the roads of #Lualaba and #Haut_Katanga , end up in the pockets of individuals than the coffers of the State.
This is $ 1.25 billion per year!.
Sorting this shit out doesn't happen overnight, but if we consider, that certain public servants close to the fire, paying themself 3 to 4 wages, by using fake names, nummers etc, etc and others don't get paid at all because of this, people have to make an income somehow to provide for their families, or starve.
Stopping this ingrained, normalized level of corruption, all the way up to the top, will not happen by a pen stroke, or decree.
It is what FT is dealing with.
It takes leading by example and with an iron fist.
I am afraid there is no evidence of that.
