The Minister of State, Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals, Rose Mutombo Kiese and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) signed on Thursday, July 15, 2021, in Kinshasa, a project to support the fight against corruption in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The fight against corruption has become one of the priorities of the Sama Lukongo government

To carry out this project, UNDP shows that its funding is spread over 4 years, 2021-2024 with a budget of 10,053,837 US dollars. Just over half of this sum is available and nearly 6,000,000 US dollars to be mobilized. This Project will also contribute to assessing and strengthening the capacities of state actors. “Since corruption is one of the most perpetrated and unpunished criminal acts, to the point of being built into a system, its eradication must start with a clearly expressed political will and must involve all levels of the country's hierarchy. Thus, Mr. President of the Republic, Head of State, His Excellency Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshisekedi Tshilombo announced to the world, before the Congolese people, his firm commitment to strengthen the fight against corruption in the Democratic Republic of Congo, by calling on all the personnel of the country's judicial system, especially the Magistrates who must, in all circumstances, render a fair and equitable justice without by no means give in to the temptation of corruption,” said Rose Mutombo in her speech to her hosts. The signing ceremony took place in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Justice; the President of the Constitutional Court and the President of the Superior Council of the Judiciary; the General Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation, National Bâtonnier; the Coordinator of the Agency for the Prevention and Fight against Corruption; the Ambassadors and Heads of Diplomatic Missions accredited in Kinshasa
