The inter-union of the Multimodal Freight Management Office (Ogefrem) has just opposed its categorical refusal to see being rehabilitated the nine agents and cadres dismissed for embezzlement of over a million US dollars and insubordination. This position was revealed during a press briefing on Monday 19 August 2019 in the parish hall of Fatima in Kinshasa.

Indeed, these trade unionists began by denouncing a sort of fierceness and unfortunate interferences on the part of political actors in the management of the company.

« The inter-union was informed by social networks, before arriving at their final destination, a series of correspondence from the chief of staff of the Head of State, the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Transport ai . and the chairman of the board of directors of Ogefrem, « she says.

According to the syndicalists, all these correspondences have as sources either contradictory memos coming from unauthorized persons, or based on erroneous information.

The inter-union deplores « the fact that the chief of staff of the head of state is misled by people who seek to harm not only this enterprise state that stands out for its remarkable recovery since the implementation. place of the new management committee, headed by Patience Sayiba.  »

Also, she laments, this policy interference that promotes clientelism instead of the interests of agents who have seen their salaries be paid regularly while with the former management committee, they accumulated late payments.

These agents believe that reinstating agents dismissed for public hijackings in no way in line with the fight against corruption, impunity and embezzlement of public funds advocated by the head of state, Felix Tshisekedi.

Moreover, the inter-union recalls that this file of revocation was well followed and treated not only by the inter-union of the Ogefrem but even more by the general Inspectorate of the work, the Primature where an ad hoc committee was even instituted by order of President Kabila at that time.

She calls on the competent authorities’ wisdom to reverse this decision taken under the influence of ill-intentioned persons and without consulting her beforehand.

She warns against anyone trying to create tension in this company and invites agents to calm down while waiting for his slogan.
