The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix- Tshisekedi, invited the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) to ensure the strict application of the provisions contained in decrees, laws and regulations on business management.
The resurgence of conflicts between statutory bodies within companies in the State portfolio and public institutions caught the attention of the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, during the 96th meeting of the Council of Ministers held on Friday, April 28, 2023.

This inquiry by President Tshisekedi follows the reports received from him reporting the increasing number of cases of conflicts between statutory bodies both within companies in the State portfolio and in public institutions.
The Congolese Head of State drew the attention of different protagonists to the need to put an end, once and for all, to the bad practices of the past.
Félix Tshisekedi asked the Minister of State, Minister of the Portfolio and the Sectoral Ministers to be actively involved to restore peace, and enforce the Laws and Regulations on business management, without which none of the major reforms envisaged could be possible.
The situation illustrated by the conflict within the Société nationale des hydrocarbures du Congo (SONAHYDROC SA) between the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Michel Eboma, and the Director General, Marcellin Bilomba.
The Director General of this public company criticizes the members of the Board of Directors for granting themselves tremendous advantages to the detriment of this company's fund. It was suspended by the Board of Directors. A suspension that he will sulk in the process not recognizing the quality of the Board of Directors to suspend him.
