How can such enormous wealth, worth several billion dollars, be given to a company that is only worth 10 million dollars ? We can't be that stupid. The two ladies ministers must immediately resign for having signed such nonsense. 
Do they have a firm that has researched the small company AJN Resources Inc. to figure out that this tiny company is marketed as a micro-stock (penny stock is less than $1) ? It is the equivalent of the old 10 sengi in DR Congo. 
Aren't there any smart women in this country who at least understand how the world of international finance works ? Either they are incompetent idiots or they also want to get rich quickly by selling off, like Joseph Kabila, lithium ores, the white gold of the future. 
Therefore, if these two ladies do not resign on their own, otherwise the president must force them to leave. The press release below from the civil society collective gives many more details on the famous round table.
COLLECTIVE OF CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH PARTICIPATED IN THE ROUND TABLE ORGANIZED BY THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC ON THE AGREEMENT SIGNED BETWEEN THE DRC AND THE VENTORA GROUP OF THE ECONOMIC OPERATOR DAN GERTLER.
PRESS RELEASE NUMBER 01/05/2022.
Organizations and platforms of Congolese Civil Society, having participated in the Round Table with the Presidency of the Republic on the Agreement with the Ventora group and other organizations, learned with dismay and annoyance of the signing yesterday of a contract Léonin by the Ministers of Mines and Portfolio selling by mutual agreement to an unknown in the mining sector, the Canadian company AJN Resources belonging to the European citizen Klaus Peter ECKHOF, certain mining assets that the Presidency of the Republic recovered from Ventora de Dan Gertler (the gold mining site of Moku in the Haut-Uélé Province), the gold deposits of Sokimo and Ituri and Bas-Uélé including those of Zani and Gada as well as the lithium mining site of Manono which must belong to australian AVZ.
This contract signed yesterday May 05, 2022 by the Minister of State in charge of the Portfolio, Adèle Kayinda, and the Minister of Mines, Antoinette N'Samba systematically violates the revised Mining Code of 2018 by not
respecting the procedure of invitation to tender, before the signature as well as the legal duration of mining research by a company.
It is in contradiction with the vision and the will of the Head of State Félix Tshisekedi for the improvement of governance and the fight against corruption in natural resources repeatedly expressed publicly. It is a kind of sabotage of the policy of the Head of State by certain members of the government as we see in the Dossier Gécamines contre TFM.
The civil society organizations members of the Collective and others see in this contract a systematic predation of a good part of the gold and lithium mines in a deal that the company having participated in the Round Table on the Agreement with Ventora and to which the
experts of the Presidency of the Republic had the will of the Head of State to henceforth consult Civil Society before, during and after the signing of contracts in natural resources.
The signatories of this press release recall that in 2020, the ''TOUS POUR LA RDC'' coalition and the elected officials of Haut-Uélé and Ituri had prevented the signing of this sell-off contract under the Ilunga
Ilukamba government by providing elements to the President of the Republic which had divested the government of the said file.
The member organizations of the Collective and other signatory organizations of this press release patriotically ask the President of the
Republic and Head of State, sole guarantor of the interests of the Congolese people, to block the implementation of this contract concluded with the unknown Canadian
AJN Resources because it contradicts all its efforts for good governance in the mining sector and promises of transparency made by its Deputy Chief of Staff, André Wameso,
during the Round Table on the agreement concluded with the
Ventora group.
The organizations and platforms that signed the Declaration of April 15, 2022 and other civil society organizations will send a detailed memorandum next week to the President of the Republic and the
Prime Minister on this contract, which they disapprove of.
They recall that a stock market share of
AJN Resources in Toronto was worth 0.32 Canadian dollars this morning, those of its competitors in gold and lithium in the DRC
are worth much more (that of
Barrick Gold is worth 22.56 Canadian dollars and AU$0.78 for one
AVZ share ).
