Introduction :
The province of Haut-Katanga in the Democratic Republic of Congo is going through a difficult period, marked by the unpaid salaries of state agents and civil servants for several months. This situation is of great concern to National Deputy Nanou MEMBA, member of the Sacred Union and fervent supporter of President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi. In this article, we will discuss the demands of the Deputy and the consequences of this crisis on the population as well as on the positive discourse of the regime in place.
A fight for the improvement of the conditions of civil servants:
Nanou MEMBA, National Deputy of the province of Kipushi, is mobilizing to defend the rights of agents and civil servants of the State of Haut-Katanga. He asks the governor of the province, Jacques kyabula Katwe, to regularize the salary situation of civil servants. In a letter addressed to the Governor, Nanou MEMBA stresses the importance of improving the living conditions of civil servants, as this directly impacts their motivation and their ability to carry out their duties effectively. He also highlights the link between this critical situation and the re-election of President Tshisekedi, stressing that the regime in place risks seeing its positive discourse in public opinion compromised.
The responsibilities of the Governor and the Provincial Assembly:
Nanou MEMBA is not content to demand action from the governor, he also calls on the office of the Provincial Assembly of Haut-Katanga to become aware of the situation and to act accordingly. He underlined the importance for the President of the Assembly to get actively involved in finding adequate and urgent solutions. Through this initiative, Nanou MEMBA wishes to put pressure on local authorities so that they quickly take measures to resolve this crisis which affects many civil servants in the province.
Consequences on the population and the regime in place:
The situation of unpaid salaries of civil servants of the State of Haut-Katanga has direct consequences on the population and the positive discourse of the regime in place. Civil servants and their families suffer from this situation, which leads to financial hardship and a precarious standard of living. As a result, trust in the ruling regime is affected, as citizens struggle to understand how President Tshisekedi’s record can be defended if the population is suffering. This unpopularity is likely to be reflected in the positive discourse of the regime in place and may pose a problem during the next general elections.

The plight of civil servants in the province of Haut-Katanga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a worrying situation that requires urgent intervention by local authorities. Nanou MEMBA, National Deputy, is stepping up to defend the rights of civil servants by asking the governor to regularize the salary situation.
