Congolese MP prepares motion against minister Muhindo Nzangi
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Lepotentiel
Congolese MP Bolumbe Bakando said she was gathering signatures to file a motion of no confidence against Agriculture Minister Muhindo Nzangi after deeming his answers unsatisfactory. She also cited an alleged embezzlement of 57 million dollars, an accusation she attributed to a note from the president’s chief of staff, Lepotentiel reports.
Congolese MP Bolumbe Bakando said she had gathered signatures to bring a motion of no confidence against Muhindo Nzangi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s agriculture minister, following a plenary session on his management, Lepotentiel reports. She said the minister’s answers to concerns raised before the National Assembly were inadequate.
Bolumbe Bakando referred in particular to a note attributed to the Congolese president’s chief of staff, which allegedly alerted Muhindo Nzangi to the suspected embezzlement of 57 million dollars. The allegation does not, by itself, establish that any embezzlement took place, but the MP is demanding explanations about the management of the funds in question.
Whether the motion proceeds will depend on the document being submitted and accepted by the National Assembly. Muhindo Nzangi is himself a national MP, a circumstance Bolumbe Bakando cites in calling for him to account for his management before elected representatives.
The move comes after Muhindo Nzangi launched the 2026-2027 agricultural season in Kasaï-Oriental on 3 October.
