DRC: 'The Semlex scandal under Kabila has found its equivalent under Tshisekedi': Jean-Claude Mputu denounces a continuity of the system with the RAM case

Jean-Claude Mputu, spokesperson for the CNPAV coalition, denounced the continuity of the system between the Kabila and Tshisekedi governments, referencing the biometric passport contract with Semlex. Despite corruption suspicions, the contract was renewed in 2020 without transparency, and its terms remain unknown. Mputu emphasizes that the only concession was a reduction in passport fees, while the underlying issues remain unresolved. He calls for a true break, which would involve auditing and terminating the contract, as well as legal action against those responsible.
