EXCHANGE BETWEEN MINISTER JULIEN PALUKU KAHONGYA AND OCC AGENTS AND EXECUTIVES WITH THE SYMBOLIC CONFERENCE OF GRADES

From now on, all agents and executives of the Congolese Control Office-OCC must sign a performance contract and the rating is part of the criteria for granting grades in addition to seniority but also the digitalization of the OCC for a large mobilization of resources and the granting of bonuses and bonuses to performers will be put into contribution.

These new measures to straighten out the OCC which is a technical and scientific tool of the Government to control the quality and conformity of all that leaves and enters the Democratic Republic of Congo were announced this Friday in Kinshasa by the Minister of Foreign Trade, Julien Paluku Kahongya during the celebration of the so-called fiftieth anniversary grades and exchanges with the very happy agents and executives who threw him flowers for his paid management.
Reaffirming his firm determination to modernize the OCC which is called upon to play a major role in the implementation of the Export Promotion and Market Diversification Strategy-SPED, the Minister of Foreign Trade invited the Board of Directors, the General Management and the agents to innovation to promote this public establishment which must be equipped with ultra-modern certified laboratories to thus be competitive on the international level.

The time for nepotism, clientelism and social injustice is now over at the OCC, added Julien Paluku Kahongya.

In their speeches, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Ndambo Mandjuandju, the Director General, Étienne Tshimanga and the President of the National Union Delegation, Chiruza Chirihula thanked the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, the Prime Minister, Judith Suminwa and Minister Julien Paluku Kahongya for the regularization of grades which cements social peace at the OCC
