Where are the $ 15 million in oil revenues that have disappeared in the DRC? The question is now on everyone's lips. It is a survey of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) that pointed the drain of this amount on oil revenues. This service of the State had asked the justice to seize it and denounces since pressures. This weekend, two inspectors have even been arrested, and since then, the Presidency, whose chief of staff Vital Kamerhe is implicated, remains silent.

When the Inspector General of Finance sent his report on the 15 million missing oil revenues, on the side of the presidency, it railed against the zeal of a senior official " retired ". Victor Batubenga, who returned from the East in 1997 in Laurent-Désiré Kabila's AFDL convoy, had been retired by his son, Joseph, a few years later, and recalled when the general inspection was placed under the direct authority of the President in 2003.

When last week, a letter attributed to the director of cabinet Vital Kamerhe, broadcast on social networks, orders the end of the survey on the management of public finances since the inauguration of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi on January 24, several members of the Presidency's communication team described the document as "false". They promise explanations on the arrest of the two finance inspectors this weekend.

Since then, it is silence while another letter attributed to Vital Kamerhe , lambasting the inspection, circulates. This is the response of the Chief of Staff of the Head of State to the FEC (Federation of Enterprises of Congo) ensuring the irregularity of the missions conducted by the inspection of some companies. To carry them out, says this letter, the authorization of the presidency of the Republic.

Meanwhile, the opposition denounces this situation and the citizens movements threaten to march this Friday.
