Fortunat Biselele

Felix Tshisekedi cleaned up his office on Sunday, January 15. The biggest change concerns the departure of Fortunat Biselele. The influential Privy Councillor of the President of the Republic has been replaced. He was the man of the shadows who was present in all the peace negotiations in the east of the DRC. Fortunat Biselele was also the main transmission belt between the power of Kinshasa and that of Kigali.

Before being officially sidelined, he was heard at length by the National Intelligence Agency (ANR). The one who was part of all the public meetings, and especially secret, within the framework of the peace process in the Great Lakes region has lost the confidence of the Head of State, particularly in this sensitive issue.

Kahumbu Mandungu Bula, until then executive coordinator of the coordination office for monitoring and control of the Banana deep-water port construction project, took his place.

He was appointed High Representative for the follow-up to the Luanda road map and the Nairobi process.

He was already piloting the system without an appointment by presidential order.

Still in the seraglio of power, Taupin Kabongo is no longer private secretary of the President of the Republic. He was appointed coordinator of the administrative secretariat.

For his part, Jean-Claude Kabongo was also removed from the post of special adviser to President Tshisekedi.

Several other people were sidelined, in several departments.

According to Congolese presidential sources, Felix Tshisekedi also sanctioned relatives who considered themselves unavoidable or untouchable and those who had compromised themselves in profiteering and influence peddling.
