DRC: Nearly 13 billion FC disbursed from public treasury for Kwango Agriculture Ministry cannot be traced

Nearly 12,955,022,527 FC disbursed by the public treasury for the Kwango provincial Agriculture Ministry cannot be traced, according to a note from the Agency for the Prevention and Fight Against Corruption (APLC). The funds were reportedly intended in part for agro-sylvo-pastoral equipment and management of the 2025–2026 farming campaign; the APLC has asked Minister Josée Lulengwa to provide supporting documents. Lulengwa says her ministry was never notified of any payments, has no bank account in its name, and received none of the funds in question. Kwango civil society is calling for investigations to trace the money and establish any potential responsibility.
