DRC loses nearly 65 million US dollars each month by paying fictitious, duplicate, and false agents in the payroll of state agents and civil servants. Which would make nearly 800 million a year. The formidable Inspectorate General of Finance (IGF) spent 1 year investigating the 1,462,757 agents and civil servants supported in the state budget and revealed the findings.
Jules Alingete, the head of the IGF, a control body under the Presidency, announced yesterday on our antennas that the investigations will continue. But trade unionists for their part have reservations and try to put things into perspective.
Some revelations are disturbing according to the public administration inter-union. But Fidèle Kihangi, its president, asks the authorities not to act in haste by removing cases of irregularities too quickly from the payroll file. “Let there first be a relationship, a rapprochement between the IGF and us, and us with the services concerned.
The IGF must know that the fictitious, is, for example, the new units which are paid in bonuses, but which do not have registration numbers, the IGF perhaps considers them as fictitious whereas for us they are agents who work regularly and who are waiting to be regularized in the registration number. »
The IGF report will send the list of 961 payroll service agents, who are on the lists of several ministries, to the judicial authorities in the coming hours. Some of these agents even appear on more than 15 lists.
A scandal for the Congolese NGO ODEP specializing in public finance. It calls for reforms as well as the resignation of the Ministers of Public Service and Finance.
