Civil Administration Reform: Agreement on Ending Hostilities in the Republic of Congo

Implementations

Civil Administration Reform – 2000

Detailed information on civil service reform, especially the reinstatement of civil servants who left government jobs to join the rebellion, was not available. According to the provisions of the accords, civil servants had to be reinstated unconditionally. Given that those who deserted security forces to join the rebellion were reinstated, it can be said that the same was true of civilian workers. Nevertheless, the exact number reinstated was not available.

Civil Administration Reform – 2001

In a different effort to reform the civil service, the Republic of Congo government discovered 9,710 false names on the government payrolls, indicating massive corruption. The government suspended the salaries of those officials until there was proof to the contrary. Before the discovery, an estimated 65,000 civil servants worked for the government.[fn]”Salaries Suspended As Ghost Workers Sought,” Africa News, October 8, 2001.[/efn_note]
