Open your eyes in the upcoming elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo
In a crucial political context, the President of the Episcopal Conference of Congo (CENCO), Archbishop Marcel Utembi Tapa, appealed to Congolese citizens to demonstrate objectivity in the upcoming elections. During a press conference, Bishop Marcel Utembi urged the population to choose their representatives based on objective criteria such as competence and moral probity.
Elections offer the Congolese people the power to renew confidence in leaders who have served the country well and the opportunity to punish those who have mismanaged public affairs. The Prelate called for saying “no” to opportunists who change sides to serve their personal interests, to reject those who appoint family members as substitutes, to refuse candidates who run at all levels and to oppose to the purchase of consciences.
It is important that Congolese citizens become aware of their responsibility as primary sovereigns and make wise choices in the upcoming elections. It is time to say “no” to the nepotist and tribalist practices that weaken democracy and to favor candidates who are competent, honest and truly committed to the well-being of the country.
The Democratic Republic of Congo needs visionary leaders who can meet the challenges facing the country and put in place policies that promote socio-economic development. The upcoming elections provide an opportunity to choose these leaders and shape the country’s future.
It is time for the Congolese population to open their eyes, to learn and to analyze the programs and the values of the candidates. By exercising good judgment, citizens can help ensure democratic and transparent elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
In conclusion, the upcoming elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo represent a crucial moment in the country’s history. Citizens have the power to shape their future by choosing competent leaders with integrity. It is time to say “no” to corruption, nepotism and tribal practices and to favor candidates who really have the interest of the country at heart.
