SACIM affair: the Senate joins Ngoyi Kasanji and demands that the Minister of Mines cancel the decree granting the diamond marketing monopoly to the CEEC
The Congolese Senate invites the Minister of Mines, Antoinette Nsamba, to report the decree entrusting the monopoly of marketing to the Center of Expertise, Evaluation and Certification (CEEC) excluding other bidders for diamond tenders.
Its president, Modeste Bahati, notified it via correspondence dated June 5, 2023, a copy of which is relayed by RTNC.
“I have the honor to remind you of the resolution of the Senate to report your Order n°0049/CAB.MINMINES/01/2022 of February 22, 2022 which violates articles 85 and 105 of law number 18/001 of March 09 2018 amending and supplementing Law No. 007/2002 of July 11, 2002,” writes Modeste Bahati.
And to motivate:
“Indeed, your decree below entrusts the diamond marketing monopoly to the CEEC, excluding other tenderers.
This causes significant shortfalls for producing companies and national and provincial public services that benefit from taxes, duties and mining royalties when tenders are validated at prices far below those of the market”.
As a reminder, national deputy Alphonse Ngoyi Kasanji had seized the country's institutions for this decree which, according to him, will precipitate the bankruptcy of the Anhui/Congo Mining Investment Company (SACIM) in Kasai Oriental after the MIBA cycle.
