The President of the Central Kongo Provincial Assembly, Jean-Claude Mvuemba, recently resigned from his post after a petition initiated by a fringe of provincial deputies. Accused of embezzlement and corruption, the former member of Lamuka preferred to save his honor thanks to his resignation rather than undergo a motion of censure.
This news reveals a deleterious climate between the governor of the province, Guy Bandu, and President Mvuemba. It all started with an information correspondence on the oral question with debate initiated by the elected representative of Lukula, Guylain Phanzu, addressed to the provincial executive. For the governor, President Mvuemba would be an accomplice.
The departure of Jean-Claude Mvuemba leaves a vacant post in the Provincial Assembly of Central Kongo, on the eve of the filing of candidacies for the national deputy. The electoral CENI must therefore organize a new election to replace him.
For more than ten years, central Kongo has been the scene of internal and selfish quarrels at the first provincial institution between brothers and sisters. This resignation only accentuates this situation.
This news demonstrates once again the difficulties encountered by Congolese institutions in assuming their role in the good governance of the country. The fight against corruption and embezzlement must be a priority to guarantee the well-being of all Congolese
