Bonheur Muamba called on Lord Chris to demonstrate consistency and not distort the facts by supporting the regime. He wrote that public payments should, in his view, be based on certified documents and rigorous controls, including the verification of compliance lists, and not on mere online statements. He added that promoting national entrepreneurship did not justify the automatic validation of claims. He asserted that the rule of law desired by President Félix Tshisekedi also applied to the economy and that the Deputy Prime Minister of Economy, Daniel Mukoko Samba, was simply applying the law, which required an audit, verification, and compliance certification before any payment. Muamba also stated that equality before the law concerned all oil operators and urged his interlocutor to adhere to Congolese laws rather than what he termed social media blackmail. #RDC #Économie #Droit (translated)

Clémence Guetté called into question the usefulness of Sébastien Lecornu and claimed that he had presented two misleading measures. She disputed the announcement of an increase in the national education budget, estimating that when accounting for inflation, the budget for middle and high schools would actually decrease by 560 million euros. She added that this would lead to the elimination of 1,600 teaching positions and criticized Lecornu for not proposing anything regarding teachers' salaries, the condition of school facilities, or Parcoursup. Regarding fuel, she reported that Lecornu planned to tap into French strategic reserves to lower prices. According to her, the decrease would be 12 to 18 cents for only three months and would depend on distributors, who would not be required to pass on the reduction in their costs. Guetté accused Lecornu of wanting to avoid having Total and major oil companies contribute, in order to preserve dividends for their shareholders. She finally warned that the budget would, in her view, be unprecedentedly violent for the middle classes and the most vulnerable individuals, while the wealthiest would be spared. She concluded that her camp would censure the government. #ÉducationNationale #Carburants #Politique (translated)

"The tanker market reached a tipping point in mid-September, skyrocketing with the increase in crude oil volumes leaving the Strait of Hormuz. Over the last three days, rates have breached a new critical threshold, soaring even higher due to the delayed global cascade effect. Just when it was thought that tanker rates could not increase further, they are reaching even more extreme levels," notes analyst Greg Miller in a Lloyd's List article. #TransportsMaritimes #DétroitDOrmuz #SalairesMarins (translated)
