Supporting Félix Tshisekedi: Jules Alingete’s Advocacy for a More Just and Transparent DRC
In a heartfelt message published on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, Jules Alingete Key, the Inspector General of Finances and Head of the General Inspection of Finances (IGF), expressed his unwavering support for President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Alingete reiterated his commitment to accompanying the reforms aimed at meeting the deep aspirations of the Congolese population by 2025.
Admiration for Leadership and Commitment to Reforms
Alingete conveyed his warmest wishes for President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, emphasizing his admiration for the President’s leadership. “Your unwavering commitment to the progress of our country inspires confidence and hope,” Alingete wrote. He also pledged to support all reforms initiated by Tshisekedi in building a more equitable and transparent nation. Alingete’s message highlighted the importance of consolidating achievements and fulfilling the profound aspirations of the Congolese people in the upcoming year.
IGF’s Role in Anti-Corruption Efforts
Under Jules Alingete’s leadership, the IGF, a division attached to the Presidency, has emerged as a cornerstone in the fight against financial misconduct and embezzlement. Since Alingete’s appointment, the IGF has played a pivotal role in revenue mobilization, notably through its renowned “financial patrol.” During President Tshisekedi’s first term, the institution intensified its efforts against unethical practices entrenched in public institutions, thereby enhancing the DRC’s international reputation.
Recognition from Transparency International
In January 2024, Transparency International commended the IGF’s endeavors in combating corruption, citing its contributions in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) report for 2023. These accolades underscore the effectiveness of the ongoing reforms, positioning the IGF at the forefront of transformations within the country.
With Jules Alingete’s steadfast dedication and the IGF’s pivotal role in promoting transparency and accountability, the DRC is poised to embrace a future characterized by justice, integrity, and progress for all its citizens.
