Jules Alingete: "Corruption in the DRC has been well fought for three years and its scale is reduced every day"
Corruption in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been well fought for three years and its scale is reduced every day, said Jules Alingete Key, in response to the intervention Albert Zeufack, Director of Operations of the World Bank on the evolution of corruption in the country.
In a press conference in Kinshasa, Albert G. Zeufack, Country Director of the World Bank for Angola, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sao Tome and Principe, recently hailed the economic upturn in Kinshasa the last two years.
But he did not hide his concern about the extent of corruption in the DRC.
A reading of the situation which did not leave indifferent the Inspector General Head of Department of the IGF, Jules Alingete Key.
The latter severely criticized, this Wednesday, January 25, 2023, the point of view of Albert G. Zeufack.
According to Jules Alingete, the analysis of the head of the World Bank is biased by indicating that "corruption in the DRC is well fought and its scale is reduced every day".
“For three years, the specialized structures relaunched and supported by the President of the Republic Félix Tshisekedi have ensured the regular publication of reports which repress corruption and there is a strong popular appropriation of this fight whereas before the facts of corruption were considered as normal and the population was anesthetized.
There is therefore no reason to minimize this political will and this popular momentum consisting in denouncing and openly repressing corruption by evoking any increase in this phenomenon”, declared the Congolese financial cop.
In the process, Jules Alingete castigates the attitude of the World Bank which, according to him, does not support the control institutions in African countries and seems to ignore the real mechanisms that have led to the vaunted economic upturn.
Convinced that the improvement achieved by the country economically is the combined result of progress made in several areas where revenues have almost doubled, the IGF is also of the opinion that these poor analyzes and approaches of the World Bank and the IMF are the basis of the failure of several economic programs supported by these two international institutions in African countries.
Wondering what Director Zeufack wanted to seek with these statements that take Kinshasa the wrong way, Alingete called on the World Bank "to leave simple office analyzes to internalize the realities on the ground in the Democratic Republic of Congo to better appreciate the efforts made by the structures for the fight against corruption with the support of the President of the Republic Félix Tshisekedi”.
According to this World Bank official, the macroeconomic situation is improving but that of governance, marked by corruption, is “worrying”.
“In 2022, the DRC was the 3rd fastest growing country in Africa (estimated at 6.1%)”, indicated Albert Zeufack, Director of Operations of the World Bank for four African countries.
He also said that the improvement in the macroeconomic situation enabled the country to benefit from budget support from the World Bank in the order of $250 million in June 2022.
