RAID’s latest report ‘Chinese Mining Companies in Katanga’ was the subject of a lively radio discussion on Radio Okapi (the local UN-run radio station) on 8 October 2009. Jean Pierre Okenda, a member of RAID’s research team, participated in a debate with H. E. Ferdinand Kambere , the Congolese Minister of Labour and Social Welfare ( l’emploi et prévoyance sociale) and the Vice President of the Employers Federation of Katanga. The Minister congratulated RAID on its report. The debate can be heard on: http://www.radiookapi.net/files/audio_file_17951.mp3
