Dr. Jean Kaseya, the recently appointed director general of the newly
   empowered Africa CDC, is enmeshed in a highly charged imbroglio with
   his former employer, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, my colleague
   Sara Jerving writes in an exclusive report you’ll only see on Devex.
   It’s a winding saga but a must-read because it raises serious questions
   about the man who was a somewhat surprising pick for a job that puts
   him at the helm of efforts to ensure the health of a continent of over
   1 billion people.
   The story also concerns the fate of two CHAI employees detained in the
   Democratic Republic of Congo in a case potentially linked to
   longstanding tensions between DRC and its archrival Rwanda. Involved in
   the discussions around the detainees is Kaseya, a Congolese doctor, who
   says the employees are being held because authorities allege they
   covered up the whereabouts of a Rwandan colleague accused of
   “suspicious” activity.
   A source familiar with the situation suggested that Kaseya’s
   involvement in the discussions around the detained employees is
   “troubling and potentially dangerous.”
   Kaseya calls those charges not only “simply ridiculous but also an
   insult to a country,” saying he intervened because CHAI asked and
   because one of the detained individuals is a childhood friend.
   Also thrown into this cauldron are demands CHAI needs to fulfill if it
   wants its employees back, including one of dubious origin that a
   “deposit” be made in U.S. dollars.
   But the story doesn’t end there. He’s hauled CHAI to labor court for
   not renewing his contract. He also purportedly stormed into CHAI’s
   office in Kinshasa, accompanied by an armed guard and is claimed to
   have confronted staff members for not giving him a farewell party and
   internal documents he had requested, according to an incident report
   obtained by Devex. Kaseya rejects this characterization of the visit .
   All of this happened in a short span of time as he assumed the reins of
   Africa CDC, which has been considered a global health success story and
   has increasingly grown in prominence and responsibility in recent
   years.
   This account is being reported here for the first time after nearly two
   months of investigation based on confidential internal reports, emails,
   text messages, and interviews.
