Wasn't corruption "the" risk?
And the thing that caught us out was the "extent" of it?
Jules Alingete: “our country was not plundered by the illiterate but by all its crooked intellectuals…”
Although the Democratic Republic of Congo has several thousand intellectuals, they have not worked for the development of the country despite the advantages some have received from the Congolese Government.
This is the alarming observation made by the Inspector General and head of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), Jules Alingete, in a message broadcast on Thursday August 10, 2023.
This observation by Jules Alingete is based on certain contracts signed by those who call themselves “Sons of the country” which have caused a disadvantage for the country to the detriment of individuals.
Allusion made to the Chinese contract signed in 2008.
According to the General Inspectorate of the IGF, Congolese intellectuals do not carry within them the true light that is supposed to enlighten society.
On the other hand, they are a brake on the development of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“If you analyze the Chinese contract, you will realize that the Congolese intellectual is an obstacle to the development of the country.
Because, by his pen, the Congolese intellectual can kill millions of Congolese and you will realize that our country was not plundered by the illiterate but rather by all its crooked intellectuals who caused enormous damage.
When they sign contracts, they put in the provisions such that revisiting the contract poses serious problems; there are contracts where it is clearly stated that when there are disputes in the execution of the said contract, the courts empowered to decide are the courts of foreign countries and this poses serious problems.
That's condemning the Republic, so it's disgusting that the Republic once trained intellectuals for free, but then they stabbed the Republic in the back “, lamented Jules Alingete.
According to a press release dated August 8, 2023, the Observatory of Public Expenditure (ODEP) called, in the context of the economic disaster caused by the Chinese contract, the authorities to prosecute all those who favored the looting of the resources of the Democratic Republic of Congo by foreign companies.
Jules Alingete also invited those who are supposed to bring light in society to become aware of their role in society and to serve like the lighthouses of Alexandria and to renounce any project that could lead to the immediate destruction or progressive society.
