DRC: Several Gécamines executives involved in the embezzlement of more than USD 10 million from SIMCO

A total of 10,156,754 US dollars (ten million, one hundred and fifty-six thousand, seven hundred and fifty-four USD) are no longer traceable in the accounts of the Société Immobilière du Congo (SIMCO) - 99% owned by Gécamines.
The revelation is contained in an information note sent to the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) by a Chief Inspector of Brigade, a copy of which has been consulted by MINES.CD.
While indicating that this colossal sum would have disappeared between October and December 2022, the said source also revealed that several executives of the General of Quarries and Mines (Gécamines), including the current Chairman of the Board of Directors, Guy Robert Lukama Nkunzi and several other executives are "directly involved" in the orchestration of this diversion.
"Mr. Kasongo Mabwisha who received a total of USD 1,391,125.00 was the President of the Intersyndicale de la GECAMINES. Mr. Lukama Nkunzi Guy who received in a single payment of USD 1,157,625.00 was Administrator of the Gécamines at the time of this operation and currently he holds the functions of PCA, Mr. Mwine Kabiena who received in several payments USD 1,019,700.00 was DGA at the time. He is currently an Administrator at the Gécamines. Mr. Ntambwe Ngoy Kasongo who received a total of USD 913,000.00 was CEO at that time. Mr. Masangu a Mwanza who had received USD 385,875.00 was Director at the time but currently, he is one of two DGAs of the Gécamines, "said this document signed by the inspector, Muzeze Nzonzimbu.
According to him, considering that it
is a case of granting oneself and others "illegal benefits, constitutin embezzlement", the case law of the former Supreme Court is constant on this subject.
Therefore, and taking into account the seriousness of the facts and the quality of certain beneficiaries, he requested Jules Alingete's authorization to summon them to the IGF in order to hear them and "tied up the file".
In addition, the Inspector General Chief of Brigade, explained that the withdrawal of this amount of money (more than USD 10 million), was motivated either by "a special endowment" or by "a special snack not specified".
Surely it must be time for MoJ to revisit the l’IGF report highlighting Cominiere’s and others questionable actions - impunity should be withdrawn for those acting against the president’s orders.
