The Congolese subcontracting regulator (ARSP), headed by Juan Ted Beleshayi, has ordered Luilu Ressources SAS, which operates in Lualaba, to end its contracts with ineligible companies and remove them from its records. The company must submit a corrective plan within 30 days, according to a decision signed on 10 November 2026.
The Subcontracting Regulatory Authority in the Private Sector (ARSP) has ordered the company Luilu Ressources SAS, which operates in Lualaba province, to terminate its current contracts with ineligible subcontracting companies. According to the decision signed on 10 November 2026 by its Director General, Juan Ted Beleshayi, Luilu Ressources must also remove these companies from its subcontractor records until their situation has been regularised with the Authority.
The company may no longer award, renew or extend contracts in favour of the companies on a list annexed to the decision, which will be published on the website www.arsp.cd. It has thirty days from notification to submit a mandatory corrective plan. This plan must include the measures and timetable for ending the contracts, proof that the companies have been removed from its records, and measures intended to open access to its contracts to eligible subcontractors. It is without prejudice to the mandatory 1.2% levy on the amount excluding VAT owed to the ARSP.
The Authority will then monitor the effective implementation of the plan. In the event of non-compliance, Luilu Ressources faces the sanctions provided for by Law No. 17/001 of 8 February 2017, as amended and supplemented by Law No. 26/017 of 30 June 2026, in particular Article 30 quinquies. The decision takes effect on the date of its signature.
