Many questions persist after the revelation of the so-called "$ 15 million" case, allegedly missing in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), whether it concerns the role of the Inspectorate General of Finance (IGF) or the politics of the case: settlement of accounts between members of the presidential entourage or action of appointed agents of the time of Joseph Kabila?

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), many questions remain around the "case of the 15 million" dollars presumed missing public accounts, and particularly first on the role of the Inspectorate General of Finance (IGF). This public expenditure control service has existed for many years but had not really been talked about so far.

The speed of the investigation conducted by IGF inspectors, appointed during the time of former President Joseph Kabila, also questions. Finally, there are questions about the political roots of this case, where the name of Vital Kamerhe, the powerful chief of staff of Felix Tshisekedi, returns in a loop . He is one of the four personalities implicated by the IGF.

Settlement of accounts within the Presidency

There was misappropriation because the money was not transferred to the account on which it was intended to be transferred, explains Treasure Kibangula, of the Study Group on Congo (GEC). " Where did this money go ? This is where politics comes in. There is both the conflict between a part of the entourage Felix Tshiskedi, including his adviser Marcellin Bilomba, who does not get along with Vital Kamerhe, who holds the strategic position of Chief of Staff. Are the two men fighting a battle within the presidency? "

Is it that those who were there before them, in Joseph Kabila's team, managed to keep some of the levers of power, in particular because they appointed most of the inspectors who are in the General Inspectorate? finances ? he wonders too.

Did not these people also have an interest in trying to instrumentalize the Inspectorate General of Finance so that Vital Kamerhe could be harmed, which also disturbs the other allies of President Félix Tshisekedi who are in Joseph Kabila's camp, that is, the Common Front for Congo (FCC) ? ".
