According
to the newspaper, the Deputy Minister regretted that a report outlining the non
traceability of USD 88 million at the DGRAD was sent "in haste" to
the International EITI "and led to the suspension of DRC "temporarily"
for 12 months. In fact, the famous "average gap" is $ 27 million and
nearly 270 million Congolese francs for which DGRAD is committed to provide
proof of payment.
Until this issue is clearer, the Potential newspaper announced that "the National Assembly requires explanation Martin Kabwelulu about the inventory of mining companies and the exclusion of the DRC EITI." The daily explains that "the mining sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo concerns the people's representatives. KAMBINGA What drives Germain and Clement Kanku, two members of the Opposition to address oral questions with debate on the place of the Minister of Mines, Martin Kabwelulu". According to the newspaper, for Germain KAMBINGA Movement of Liberation of Congo (MLC), the Minister must tell the elected representatives why mines also contribute little to the state budget and must prepare the state inventory of mining companies. Clement Kanku, meanwhile, requires light on the suspension of the DRC to the EITI.
