First and foremost, I wish to express my profound gratitude to His Excellency the President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, for entrusting me with the leadership of such a strategic institution. This responsibility, which I accept with humility and determination, commits me to serving the Republic with rigor and loyalty.

Our country possesses the richest mineral heritage in the world. These assets have not yet generated the economic and social benefits to which the Congolese people are entitled.
By strengthening oversight of the mining sector, combating fraud and smuggling, and ensuring strict compliance with mining regulations, we will contribute to building a more transparent and responsible sector. A well-governed mining sector benefits the State, law-abiding operators, and, above all, the Congolese people.
To meet this challenge, we have undertaken a profound transformation of our institution: strengthening the capacities of our twenty-two provincial inspectors, establishing a specially trained and equipped Mining Guard to secure the mining provinces, and modernizing our control and traceability tools, all within a framework that prioritizes environmental protection.

May this new chapter in the history of the IGM allow the DRC to transition from a "geological scandal" to an economic miracle.

Long live the DRC! Rafael Kabengele, Inspector General of Mines
