Government officials at the Primature received an audit report on 23 October 2026 assessing the operational management of the Bangui and Bouboui abattoirs. The document outlines significant concerns regarding the facilities' current state and oversight. According to the findings, the audit identified multiple failures to meet sanitary standards across the sites. Investigators also documented general management deficiencies at the abattoirs, signaling a breakdown in the required protocols for food safety and administrative control. These results represent the official evaluation of the infrastructure as of the report's submission date.
The audit, which was formally presented to the Primature on 23 October 2026, serves as a full review of the ongoing operational practices at these key locations. The report provides a detailed breakdown of the specific areas where the facilities have allegedly deviated from established food safety regulations. These findings include specific observations regarding the cleanliness of the processing areas and the maintenance of equipment used during daily operations. The report notes administrative shortcomings that have reportedly hampered the effective oversight of food safety measures. By documenting these sanitary failures and management deficiencies, the audit provides a baseline for the government to evaluate the current status of the Bangui and Bouboui abattoirs.
Management of Abattoir Facilities
Djibro Service holds the operational contract for the Bangui and Bouboui abattoirs. The company maintains direct responsibility for the daily oversight of these facilities and the implementation of food safety protocols. Documents submitted to the Primature on 23 October 2026 identify this firm as the primary entity tasked with managing site operations and maintaining sanitary conditions. As the contracted manager, Djibro Service is required to ensure that all activities at the Bangui and Bouboui abattoirs adhere to the safety standards mandated by the government. The firm’s role involves the supervision of all staff and the enforcement of protocols designed to protect the integrity of the food supply chain.
Representatives for Djibro Service have formally contested the findings contained within the audit report. The company rejects the assessment of management deficiencies and the claims regarding failures to meet sanitary standards at the sites. Destin Debonheur Wilikon, acting on behalf of the company, stated that the firm disagrees with the evaluation of their operational performance at both the Bangui and Bouboui locations. Management officials maintain that the internal processes followed by Djibro Service align with the requirements established for these facilities.
In response to the report, Djibro Service has emphasized that its internal protocols are strong and designed to meet the rigorous demands of abattoir management. Destin Debonheur Wilikon noted that the company stands by its record of oversight at the Bangui and Bouboui abattoirs, asserting that the conclusions reached by the audit do not accurately reflect the daily realities of the facilities. The company continues to challenge the validity of the claims presented, arguing that the assessments of sanitary and management failures are inconsistent with their own internal monitoring data. As the dispute continues, the Primature remains in possession of the audit, which explicitly identifies the company as the entity responsible for the conditions described in the investigation.
