Moses Katumbi Chapwe is the nightmare of the economic operators of the great Katanga and the antithesis of the new Prime Minister, Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba. This is recalled by Adam Chalwe Munkutu, national secretary of the PPRD, in a political declaration made public this Monday, June 3, 2019.

Right to the point, this young leader of the party in power regrets that the former great Katanga pays the salty addition of the internal undermining work of Moses Katumbi, this political operator and ex-member of the PPRD, to the provocative logorrhea towards his political father, Joseph Kabila Kabange, and to the sleepless cries of ostracism on successful peaceful alternation and the resulting political coalition.

Apostle of unfair competition
The economic operators, reminds Adam Chalwe, still have nightmares thinking of the era when Katumbi was enthroned in Lubumbashi by skimming all layers of business.

« From the breadmaker mother, the goods and people carrier, the restaurateur, the flour vendors, the aircraft manufacturers and so on. All had as unfair competitor in their companies the former governor », he insisted.

This, before asking two questions: How not to question the origins of the fortune of Katumbi whose several missing links obscure the traceability including the sale of the mine of Kinsevere at low prices whose letters Muyambo are proof eloquent? What about money laundering practices in offshore Panama revealed by journalist David Leloup in Marianne in 2014?

Antithesis of Ilunkamba
Moreover, says Adam Chalwe, the Katangese memory does not forget that the first local defender of the rebirth of the National Society of Railways of Congo (SNCC) whose current prime minister is born was Moïse Katumbi.

« He has made his truck fleets prosper in the mining industry by putting the wheels in the wheels of this company. Today since his departure from the province, a glimmer of hope point for the railways with the resumption of availability of the section Dilolo – Lobito long of 1300 km », said this young executive of the PPRD.

As a result, he warns, there is no doubt that the prospect of a peaceful and peaceful alternation and a historic coalition between the Cape Town leader for change (CACH), Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo and the leader of the Front Common to the Congo (FCC), Joseph Kabila, is not to the taste of the one who called himself the King of Katanga and already saw himself at the top of the political poster after the elections.

Largest common divider
For this youth of the PPRD, the positive divisionist and fratricidal energy released by Moses Katumbi will have been at the basis of the Katangan political self-flagellation which made them lose the supreme magistracy. Long before, he argues, the same political operator was, by selfishness, the fierce opponent of the process of provincial decentralization despite its advantages.

« He carried out anti-homeland activities by recruiting foreign lobbies at great expense to negatively influence the attitude of some foreign powers against the DRC and to serve his selfish interests. Results, he encouraged the policy of targeted sanctions that mainly affected senior Congolese cadres mostly Katangans, « he lamented evoking the saying that », Man is a wolf for man.

#RDC "On est homme par son passé" disait André Malraux, le passé politique récent de @moise_katumbi ne plaide pas pour donner un crédit à ses paroles. Il est le plus grand commun diviseur des Katangais et le champion de la politique spectacle et de la victimisation 1/2 pic.twitter.com/GLVafhQt9H

Adam Chalwe calls for the vigilance and foresight of the leaders and the population of the former Greater Katanga and Congo on the danger that, according to him, represent the malicious political activities of Katumbi whose smoky goals are all except for development.

« I ask His Excellency the President of the Republic, whom he claims to be a close friend, to adopt an attitude of caution and distance from Katumbi’s current words and actions which seem to be complimentary to him and which tomorrow can quickly to turn into vitriol attacks with the help of some foreign powers », he advised.
