En effet, pendant l\u2019audience tenue ce 13 ao\u00fbt 2025, \u202fMutamba a entre autres pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 des excuses pour avoir attaqu\u00e9 deux juges r\u00e9cemment retir\u00e9s de l\u2019affaire, les accusant de l\u2019avoir intimid\u00e9 et combattu. Devant la Cour de cassation pr\u00e9sid\u00e9e par Jacques Kabasele, il a affirm\u00e9 qu\u2019il n\u2019avait jamais d\u00e9tourn\u00e9 les 19 millions de dollars li\u00e9s au projet de construction de la prison de Kisangani, dans la province de la Tshopo.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u202fPendant la guerre d\u2019agression, alors que tout le monde \u00e9tait \u00e9puis\u00e9, j\u2019\u00e9tais pr\u00eat \u00e0 donner ma vie pour ce pays. Mais aujourd\u2019hui, la justice que j\u2019ai servie avec amour m\u2019a tout retir\u00e9 : mon honneur, la confiance que l\u2019on avait en moi, ma valeur et mon travail\u202f\u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9plor\u00e9, s\u2019appuyant sur un passage des Psaumes.<\/p>\n

Mutamba a affirm\u00e9 qu\u2019il avait toujours agi avec d\u00e9vouement et amour envers les Congolais, se consid\u00e9rant aujourd\u2019hui injustement priv\u00e9 de reconnaissance et de respect.<\/p>\n

Selon l\u2019ancien ministre, son proc\u00e8s pourrait \u00eatre compar\u00e9 \u00e0 celui de Patrice Lumumba, Premier ministre et h\u00e9ros de l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance congolaise.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Au minist\u00e8re de la Justice, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019injustice en essayant de remplir mes fonctions avec int\u00e9grit\u00e9, pour le bien du pays et des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations \u00e0 venir. Cette affaire \u00e9voque pour moi de nombreux proc\u00e8s historiques, notamment celui de Patrice Lumumba, et je me sens, \u00e0 certains \u00e9gards, comme lui revenu parmi les vivants. \u00bb <\/p>\n

Mutamba a \u00e9galement rappel\u00e9 qu\u2019en 1956, Lumumba, alors \u00e2g\u00e9 du m\u00eame \u00e2ge que lui aujourd\u2019hui, avait \u00e9t\u00e9 condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 un an de prison pour diffamation, avant de devenir un h\u00e9ros national.<\/p>\n

L’accus\u00e9 a poursuivi ses comparaisons historiques en \u00e9voquant Fidel Castro et \u00c9tienne Tshisekedi. Selon lui, son parcours judiciaire ressemble \u00e0 celui de Castro, jug\u00e9 et condamn\u00e9 avant de prendre le pouvoir \u00e0 Cuba, ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 celui de Tshisekedi, emprisonn\u00e9 dans les ann\u00e9es 1980 pour son combat politique, avant que son fils F\u00e9lix Tshisekedi n\u2019acc\u00e8de \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence de la RDC, avant d\u2019\u00e9voquer l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident sud-africain Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Cette affaire me rappelle \u00e9galement Mandela en 1962 : condamn\u00e9 injustement, il a pass\u00e9 27 ans en prison avant de devenir pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019Afrique du Sud \u00bb, a-t-il ajout\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Par ailleurs, le minist\u00e8re public a requis contre lui une peine de 10 ans de travaux d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, 10 ans d\u2019in\u00e9ligibilit\u00e9 et d\u2019interdiction d\u2019exercer toute fonction publique, ainsi que le remboursement des fonds publics d\u00e9tourn\u00e9s. <\/p>\n

Le verdict est attendu pour le 27 ao\u00fbt prochain.<\/p>\n
