KANYAKA-RUSHWA 2: UNIS carries on its citizen watch against corruption in the DRC

Kinshasa, 31 October 2024 — Following the launch of KANYAKA-RUSHWA, UNIS is publishing the second issue of its monitoring bulletin on corruption cases and related conduct in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This second edition covers conduct reported between July and September 2024 and restates the determination of UNIS to maintain a lasting citizen watch over corruption cases so that they do not slip out of public attention.

The cases examined include the conviction of Glencore by the Swiss courts, corruption in the judicial sector, funds intended for the victims of the Kisangani war, the construction of a prison, difficulties in the award of public contracts, the management of certain state-owned enterprises, and oversight of the public finances.

Through KANYAKA-RUSHWA, UNIS wants to help break the cycle of forgetting and impunity, while making the public aware of its right to hold public officials to account.

Editorial rule: KANYAKA-RUSHWA never turns an allegation, a suspicion or an accusation into an established fact. The bulletin consistently distinguishes between established facts, allegations, ongoing investigations, prosecutions and convictions.
