Congo election commission overspent, awarded opaque contracts- report

(Reuters) - Congo's national election commission failed to account for $400 million of funds it received from the state, and awarded opaque procurement contracts ahead of the disputed December general election, an EU-funded civil society report said Monday.

The report said the electoral commission, known as CENI, was also blighted by budget overruns, an issue that has plagued President Felix Tshisekedi's administration.
