00:00Hey, we have so many cases in common.
00:02The Africa Centers for Disease Control is demanding answers over more than $700 million meant to fight Ebola in Congo.
00:11Africa CDC Director General Dr. John Kaseya says the money simply cannot be accounted for.
00:19Donors say they disbursed $962 million to partners fighting Ebola in Congo,
00:26but the Africa CDC says only about $200 million can actually be traced to the structures working on the ground.
00:35That leaves more than $700 million unaccounted for, Radio Okapi reported.
00:42Kaseya says a joint verification exercise with Congolese health authorities revealed the gap.
00:48About $100 million, he says, was never used at all and may still be sitting with certain partners.
00:57The revelations are reigniting concerns about transparency in how international funding for health emergencies is managed in Congo.
01:08Kaseya says, was never used at all.
