Wamba to probe business partner's dealings

    NAIROBI
    Leader of the RCD-Kisangani faction, Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, has said his group is investigating reports that a business partner is a fraudster, the Ugandan 'New Vision' daily reported on Thursday. The Kisangani faction signed a deal with an organisation, the African Union Reserve System (AURS), establishing the "African Reserve Bank" as Congo's central bank, and a monetary system based on Congolese diamonds and gold, the paper said. "RCD-Kisangani signed an agreement with people we believed to be sincere," Wamba said in a statement. "If our prospective partners are not who they claimed to be, we will declare the preliminary agreement null and void and proceed no further."
