Finance Minister Nicholas Kazadi says it was a mistake to pay $100, 000 to a boxer Martin Bakole for a fight that didn’t exit.
The sports minister Serge Nkonde gave Bakole $100, 000 after he made a public complaint that he had been abandoned.
It turned out Bakole had no fight abroad and went on to enjoy the ride on a motorcycle carrying a bag of cash.
Kazadi says his government was under pressure from the and social influencers to give Bakole funds.
