Why was Koffi Olomide the day after that evenement accused of corruption?
And was it true that he bribed the Jury-commission of the Kora Awards ?

first of all,its important to know that sometimes our artists who went to kora did not go if they did not know they'd win at least something, also apart from the kinshasa-based guys who found it suspect,there was also vieux lokua kanza if i remember well who was in the jury and also had some doubts,if i recall well another big african artist in the jury also said something
koffi was not meant at all to be in two categories and ended up being there at last minute
also, i often heard apart from the case of koffi that producers used to "pay" some koras to promote themselves
and to convince some artists they were granting artists they'd win koras if they signed for them

Bino nde tembe, pona nini ozo ko ndimi te Koffi a zui ba Kora wana fair and square.

a question was asked and i replied, and i will look for articles there were plenty of press articles not even coming from drc talking about it
and i do not hate koffi at all, i have said "bad" things about almost all artists
if you read my post i even talked about other artists for example the guys who were with jps who all won koras except madilu
by the way,koffi's koras are not the only ones to have been controversial even just that year so its not hate its facts,no wonder those awards disappeared for a moment and is not anymore as prestigious as in the past
