The following agencies and bodies are established to fight official corruption in the DRC:
Agency for the Prevention and Fight against Corruption (APLC): Created in 2020 as a specialized anti-corruption agency. Its mission is to develop and implement anti-corruption strategies at different levels
General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF): Involved in preventing and fighting corruption since 2019
Court of Auditors (CC): Also involved in anti-corruption efforts since 2019
National Financial Intelligence Unit (CENAREF): Active in anti-corruption work since 2019
Observatory for the Monitoring of Corruption and Professional Ethics (OSCEP): Engaged in anti-corruption activities since 2019
Cellule Technique de Lutte contre l'Impunite: An agency in charge of fighting corruption
Special Advisor for Good Governance, and
Anti-corruption office: Created in 2015 to fight corruption in the management of public affairs
Despite the existence of these anti-corruption agencies, the DRC remains rotten from top to bottom, and from bottom to top.
With the exception of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) led by the brave Jules Alingete Key, they are just puppets of King Felix-the-corrupt. They are deliberately ineffectual through under-funding, or are highly politicised and ignore graft by politicians and well-connected officials.
To paraphrase Frank, they couldn't find a fish in a fish tank full of fish.
