LanguagesFrenchEnglishSwahili

Background

Salomon Mwilo is a lawyer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, holding a Master of Laws from the Université Officielle de Bukavu. He works from primary sources (the Journal officiel, ministerial arrêtés) and advises on Congolese regulatory and compliance matters.

He has worked as a lawyer at DUNIA et Associé and as legal counsel at Reach-RDC and TWIGGA Sarl, and works as a freelance legal and compliance consultant, doing comparative legal research, compliance audits and legal document review for international clients.

Salomon reviews our research on the Democratic Republic of the Congo: he reads each report against the gambling legislation, the ministerial arrêtés and the official sources it cites, and signs it off before it is published under his name.

  • Lawyer, DUNIA et Associé
  • Legal Counsel, Reach-RDC
  • Legal Counsel, TWIGGA Sarl

What Salomon has reviewed

The review covers the regulatory checklist (the regulator and the law, licences and how to apply, costs and taxes, technical rules, player protection, marketing, compliance and complaints). It does not cover operator and licence lists, enforcement cases, market figures or news. Changes we make after a review are ours: each page lists them, dated and with their official source, as added since the review and not formally reviewed.

How a review works

  1. Our research team answers every question of our regulatory checklist from official documents only: the law, its implementing decisions and the regulator's own pages and register. Every figure is traced to the document and sentence that states it.
  2. Salomon reads that research against the primary law in the original language, and corrects or confirms each answer.
  3. Once Salomon signs it off, the pages carry Salomon’s name, the date of the review and the edition it covers. Anything we add or change after that edition is ours: the page lists it as added since the review, dated and with its official source.
