From the januari 2007 publication:

DID THE WORLD BANK CLOSE ITS EYES IN CONGO?
There is a lot to do about the role the World Bank has played in various obscure mining deals that Congo´s transitional government signed last Year. Apparently, these opaque and ore mining deals were signed with a complete lack of transparency by Gecamines, the governmental mining agency, and two British Virgin Island based companies, Global Enterprises Ltd. and Kinross Forrest Ltd.
The question rises how such mishandling of millions of dollars of reconstruction funds could have happened under the scrutiny of the Bank and why the Bank´s program for restructuring Gecamines has been completely derailed.
The World Bank realizes it will have to face questions about its role in oversight on such deals and is worried a perception of complicity or tacit approval might jeopardize its reputation.
The issue comes at an inconvenient moment now that Congo has passed through its first democratic elections and while the whole international community crosses its fingers that the results of these elections will not lead to a new civil war in the already shattered country.
