She said

“Beyond my official and public duties, I have a life that must be respected by all. A right guaranteed to all Congolese by our Constitution. Tarnishing my image should not be a tolerated habit.

“Indeed, it could harm not only my commitments, but also the image of my married male colleagues and their homes.

“On the eve of the electoral contests scheduled for December of this year, political detractors can attack my opinions and political actions rather than opting for practices tending to smear my person.

“It should be noted that a certain sensational press has hammered since last Tuesday on the fact that this ministerial authority would have had romantic relations with another personality who would be in conflict with another person who maintains the same type of relationship with the vice- minister.

“For a certain opinion, this is a strictly private life that must be respected at the risk of undermining human dignity”.

Meanwhile, a mountain in Congo was discovered to be covered with Gold.

In the viral video, the villagers could be seen digging the mountain containing the gold deposits and taking the soil back to their homes in order to wash the dirt and extract the gold.
