The construction works of the urban road system in five communes of the city of Mbuji-Mayi, in the province of Kasaï-Orientale in the Democratic Republic of Congo, were successfully launched during a ceremony chaired by the Governor of the city, Patrick Mathias Kabeya, July 9, 2023. Accompanied by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Tobie Kayumbi Tumba, the Minister of Infrastructure and Public Works Alexis Gisaro, as well as the Director of the OVD Victor Tumba, the Governor symbolically gave the submission of work.
This news was warmly welcomed by the population of the province of Kasaï-Orientale, and more particularly by the inhabitants of the city of Mbuji-Mayi. Indeed, these works will make it possible to build a road with a total length of 14.35 km, linking the municipalities of Muya, Dibindi, Pibemba and Kanshi. The objective is to improve traffic and promote connectivity between these different municipalities.
The population expresses its satisfaction and optimism regarding the completion of the work within the time limits. It also wants this new road to be built to the standards required to ensure a modern and sustainable road infrastructure.
This initiative arouses real hope for the inhabitants of Mbuji-Mayi, who see in this work an opportunity for economic and social development for the region. Indeed, better accessibility will promote trade, the development of local businesses and will also facilitate access to basic services such as schools, health centers and markets.
It is important to emphasize that the improvement of road infrastructure is a crucial issue for the development of the regions in the DRC. Good roads promote the mobility of people and goods, stimulate trade and investment, and boost tourism.
However, it is essential that this work be carried out with rigor, respecting quality and durability standards. It is also necessary to ensure transparent and efficient management of the funds allocated to this work, in order to avoid any form of misappropriation or corruption.
In conclusion, the launch of urban road works in Mbuji-Mayi is excellent news for the population of the province of Kasaï-Orientale. These road infrastructures will make it possible to promote traffic and connectivity between municipalities, thus opening up new prospects for economic and social development for the region. Hopefully this work will be carried out to the required standards for the well-being and progress of the people
