Republic of Congo will build 5,000 new homes and pay 3 million CFA francs ($6,000) to the families of victims of the March 4 explosion at an arms depot in the capital, Brazzaville, in which at least 250 people died, Planning Minister Pierre Moussa said.
“A living allowance of 3 million CFA will be paid by the government to each family of the victims,” Moussa told parliament in a broadcast today on state-owned TeleCongo. “This has nothing to do with compensation, the details of which will be determined later.”
