A romantic affair in a top government office has become a national embarrassment.
The Minister of Education of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Tony Mwaba Kazadi, has impregnated his Deputy Minister, Aminata Namasia.
And the Minister is not denying
In fact, he has accepted responsibility but claimed, “It was an accident at work”.
However, the DRC President has reportedly set up a committee to look into the matter.
Tony and Aminata have had a love affair going on for some time now. They work together and feelings grew deeper despite the fact that they are both married.
Their love affair was made public by a reporter known as Lungila John.
The incident has generated negative reactions from citizens of the country as they continue to lambast the Minister and his Deputy for what they described as their bad conduct.
Aminata demanded that her privacy be respected.
She posted on Twitter: “Beyond my official and public duties, I have a life that must be respected by all. A right guaranteed to all Congolese by our Constitution. Tarnishing my image should not be a tolerated habit.
“Indeed, it could harm not only my commitments, but also the image of my married male colleagues and their homes.
“On the eve of the electoral contests scheduled for December of this year, political detractors can attack my opinions and political actions rather than opting for practices tending to smear my person”.
