APCSC Launches Inspection for SICOMINES SA Post-Renegotiation
In fulfillment of its mission to steer, coordinate, and monitor collaboration agreements, notably the SINO-CONGOLESE contract, the Director General of the Agency for Steering,
Coordination, and Monitoring of Collaboration Agreements with Private Partners (APCSC) announced a series of inspection missions within the mining company SICOMINES SA, on Friday, February 23, 2024.
It is essential to emphasize that within the execution of the Collaboration Agreement between the Congolese Government and the Chinese Enterprise Group (GEC), the APCSC serves as the direct interface responsible for engaging in discussions and ensuring the smooth operation of the agreements between the two parties.
Following the renegotiation of the SINO-CONGOLESE Contract, which resulted in the reallocation and increase of funds designated for the construction of essential infrastructure in the DRC, the Director General of APCSC, Freddy SHEMBO, emphasized the urgency to expedite the existing framework to implement the new collaborative approach, as envisioned by the President of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Félix-Antoine TSHISEKEDI.
Consequently, regular inspection missions have been launched to assess the progress of work and prevent the recurrence of past errors.
It is noteworthy that these inspection missions, personally led by the Director General and his delegation, will be conducted at the SICOMINES SITE and the Busanga hydroelectric dam in the LUALABA province.
