Ex-Prime Minister Of DR Congo Receives Prison Sentence For Corruption Charges - Axadle | Stay Informed With Horn Of Africa Headlines
Former Democratic Republic of Congo Prime Minister Augustin Matata Ponyo has been sentenced to ten years of forced labour for embezzling around $245 million of public funds, alongside Deogratias Mutombo, the former governor of the central bank, who received a five-year sentence. Ponyo's lawyer said the ruling was "unfair and politically motivated". The case has stretched over almost four years since the country's Inspectorate General of Finance reported the theft from the Bukanga-Lonzo Agro-Industrial Park in 2020.
