DRC: Motion of no confidence announced against Muhindo Nzangi over suspected misappropriation of USD 57 million

National Assembly member Hermione Bolumbe, elected in Mont-Amba, says she will file a motion of no confidence against Muhindo Nzangi, the minister of state for agriculture and food security. She accuses him of the alleged misappropriation of USD 57 million from the African Development Bank earmarked for agricultural projects benefiting young people. The announcement followed the minister’s response to an oral question and debate in the National Assembly on October 21, which failed to satisfy lawmakers. Bolumbe says colleagues have signed the motion and that she plans to submit it the next day.
