Under Decision No. 035/ARSP/DG/2026 of November 10, 2026, the ARSP Director General, Juan Ted Beleshayi Kasanda, ordered the company LUILU RESSOURCES SAS, operating in Lualaba Province, to terminate ongoing contracts with ineligible subcontracting companies and remove them from its subcontractor registers.
The decision follows an inspection, with the observation sheets received on July 20 and 22, 2026. For the 2025 financial year, twenty-six (26) suppliers and service providers did not meet the eligibility conditions of Article 6 of Law No. 17/001 of February 8, 2017, as amended by Law No. 26/017 of June 30, 2026, which reserves subcontracting to companies with Congolese capital headquartered on national territory, subject to exemptions.
The company must no longer award, renew or extend contracts to the listed companies, terminate ongoing contracts and remove them from its registers until their situation is regularized. It must submit, within 30 days, a mandatory corrective plan (timeline for ending the contracts, evidence of removal, measures to open its value chain to eligible subcontractors), without prejudice to the mandatory 1.2% levy (excluding VAT) owed to the ARSP. A follow-up inspection will verify implementation. Failure to comply exposes the company to the sanctions under Article 30 quinquies of the law.
