The Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF), which supports whistleblowers in Africa, with its network of expert lawyers and journalists, has released an exclusive interview with the whistleblower Jean-Jacques Lumumba.
Lumumba was a senior executive in the credit division of the Gabonese Bank Banque Gabonaise et Française et Internationale subsidiary in the DRC. In 2016, Lumumba discovered the existence of several suspicious transactions worth tens of millions of dollars between the Congolese bank, run by relatives of President Kabila and by companies, also controlled by relatives of the President. Lumumba has tried to alert his superiors internally. Threatened with a firearm by the bank’s managing director, Francis Selemani Mtwale, President Kabila’s adopted brother, Lumumba left his country and bravely revealed this massive corruption scandal.
