Info DRC: The Deputy Prime Minister of the DRC prohibits the organization of plenaries at the Provincial Assembly of Tanganyika
According to a telegram made public on Friday, May 12, 2023, Peter Kazadi, the Deputy Prime Minister of Interior and Security, has banned the organization of plenaries at the Provincial Assembly of Tanganyika until further notice. This measure was taken to avoid any slippage that could lead to unrest and threaten peace and tranquility in this region.
In the telegram, Peter Kazadi invites the office of the Provincial Assembly of Tanganyika to Kinshasa for a consultation. This decision comes in a context of crisis observed in the Provincial Assembly and aims to prevent any aggravation of the situation.
Tanganyika is a Congolese province located in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This region has experienced episodes of violence in the past, linked to conflicts between communities, in particular between the Pygmies and the Bantus.
In an effort to preserve peace, the Congolese government banned plenaries in the Provincial Assembly of Tanganyika and called for a consultation of the office of this institution in Kinshasa. We hope that this measure will help to calm the situation and consolidate peace in this region.
