“Contrary to the rumors circulating on social networks, since Friday September 3, 2021, passing Professor Modeste Bahati as the owner of the company Regal Mining which would illegally exploit the minerals in the province of South Kivu, we are keen to inform the opinion that the said society does not belong to the President of the Senate or to a member of his family ”, notes the Communication Unit before challenging and warning the authors of these insinuations.
