[miningmx.com] -- THE Democratic Republic of Congo is selling its water, transport and electricity utilities, Prime Minister Antoine Gizenga said.

"We want to put an end useless monopolies,'' Gizenga is quoted by Bloomberg as saying at the national assembly in the capital Kinshasa where the country's new cabinet was sworn in.

The country will introduce policies aimed at creating jobs in the DRC, which has an 80 percent unemployment rate, he said.
