A Congolese politician identified as Michel Mokaria has fled the country after rejecting a million dollar offer to testify against opposition leader Moise Katumbi’s special advisor Salomon Kalonda in a government scheme to eliminate the Ensemble pour la République leader from the December 20, 2023 presidential elections.
Salomon was kidnapped by ANR special agents on May 30, 2023 and was detained at DEMIAP without charge until June 5, 2023 when the military announced falsehoods against him which they used to slap charges of terrorism arising from alleged links with M23 rebels to possession of a fiream. The firearm attributed to Salomon has since been debunked by revelations that it actually belonged to the bodyguard of LGD opposition leader Augustin Matata Mapon.
Last night, a video revealing the scheme which needed Mokaria to help fabricate evidence against Salomon and Katumbi hit social media.
Mokaria names Colonel Modeste from DEMIAP and a Joelle representing the presidency as part of the scheme.
He has offered to testify about the scheme on conduction that he will be protected by the United Nations but has momentarily gone into exile for fear of reprisal.
“They are searching the country for me, but I’m on the run ” he said.
“I was offered to cooperate with the services in order for them to charge @SalomonKalonda and dismiss @moise_katumbi in the elections. I refused and now my life is in danger,” Mokaria said.
The official is a former provincial coordinator of young Katumbists in North Kivu and currently belongs to a political party led by Muhindo Nzangi.
