FRIVAO (. Fund for Reparation and Compensation for Victims of Uganda's Armed Activities) seeks accreditation of the accounts of the victims of the war in kisangani

 

The Special Fund for Reparation and Compensation for Victims of Uganda's Armed Activities in the DRC (FRIVAO) announced, Saturday July 6 in Kisangani, the accreditation of the accounts of the first wave of victims in the process of their compensation. But the secretary rapporteur of FRIVAO, Mimy Mopunga, regrets the fact that certain people who accompanied the victims seek to interfere in matters that do not directly concern them. He asks them to let eligible victims receive their compensation in complete peace of mind: “They of course supported the victims for 23 years so that they were compensated. Now we must give victims time to calmly receive their compensation. There is no reason to exist, to still create mass movements, demands.” As for “supposed victims” who feel wronged, she recommends that they contact FRIVAO. “The decree says that we must only pay the real victims. We still open a door for those who think their file was wrongly rejected. They just have to lodge the appeal, their file is there, it’s not in front of the OPJ, it’s in front of the FRIVAO agents…”. The FRIVAO also asks victims summoned either by the bank or by its services to come forward in order to provide certain useful information relating to their files. Audit carried out Furthermore, the Minister of State, Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice, Constant Mutamba, suspended the debit movements of the FRIVAO account opened in the Rawbank books. According to the ministry's press release dated Saturday July 6, this decision remains in force, pending the final audit carried out by the IGF on the activities of FRIVAO.
