Drivers of motorcycle taxis, commonly known as “wewas”, are currently faced with administrative hassles that hinder their activity. This situation, denounced by the president of the “wewas” association, Papy Muluba, arouses anger and discontent among these professionals.
According to Papy Muluba, motorcycle taxi drivers are constantly confronted with checks and administrative procedures that hinder their ability to exercise their profession effectively. Among the State services implicated in these harassments are the General Directorate of Kwilu Revenue (DGREK), the transport service and the parking service. This accumulation of controls and taxes weighs heavily on motorbike taxi drivers, who feel that it does not improve their professional situation in any way.
Faced with this unjust situation, the “wewas” have considered showing their dissatisfaction through a protest march. However, President Papy Muluba called for patience and preferred to challenge the politico-administrative authorities to find a solution to this problem.
It is also important to point out that motorbike taxi drivers already pay several regular taxes, but they feel that these funds are not used enough in their favor. This injustice fuels discouragement among professionals in the sector, who demand real change from the authorities.
It is therefore crucial that the politico-administrative authorities take into account the concerns of motorbike taxi drivers and work to relieve the administrative hassle that penalizes them. A tax reform for motorcycle taxis is necessary in order to promote their activity and enable them to contribute to local economic development in a fair and equitable manner.
In conclusion, it is essential that the politico-administrative authorities take measures to reduce the administrative hassle weighing on motorcycle taxi drivers. These professionals deserve to practice their profession in favorable conditions and to be recognized for their contribution to the local economy. Fair treatment and adequate reforms are necessary to support their activity and promote their professional development
