KINSHASA – Arrived in the Congolese capital on Sunday July 16, 2023, the president of the party Together for the Republic, Moïse Katumbi has already made contact with diplomats, in particular, the ambassadors of the European Union, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Canada. Meanwhile, journalist Peter Tiani is still expected at the provincial commissioner ai of the city of Kinshasa.
After the despicable assassination of the national deputy Chérubin Okende, the opposition (Quatuor) cast shame on the regime in place through a press briefing held on Thursday July 13, 2023 in Kinshasa. Which, for those in the know, is just a gratuitous assertion without the results of international expert investigators.
In addition, the chairman of the party Together for the Republic, Moise Katumbi who abounded in the same direction, promised an independent investigation of his party, to know the assassins and sponsors of this deplored act.
So to get to the truth, the opponent has, in two days, met these diplomats stationed in the country. The latter want, like the Congolese authorities, a transparent investigation.
“We agree that the government must respect its commitment to investigate his death urgently and transparently,” said Lucy Tamlyn, US ambassador to the DRC after her meeting with opponent Katumbi.
For her part, Alyson King, Ambassador of the United Kingdom stressed “the importance of a transparent and thorough investigation which will bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice”.
The search for truth
The government, for its part, announced a multidisciplinary investigation with foreign countries to track down the assassins and sponsors of this heinous and much lamented act.
In the search for the truth, we learn that the pro-Katumbi journalist, Peter Tiani was summoned by the provincial commissioner ai of the city of Kinshasa on Tuesday, July 18 for intelligence reasons. But he didn’t show up.
It should be noted that the pro Katumbi journalist was one of the first to reveal the alleged kidnapping of the national deputy, at 2 p.m., while the honorary Minister of Transport was last seen at the Constitutional Court at 4 p.m. according to the acknowledgment of receipt of his letter.
Wait and see !
