The members of the High Council of Revival Churches, including Pastor Albert Kankienza, Pascal Mukuna, Ejiba ya Mampia, Espé MBakadi and Kiziamina, ask President Félix Tshisekedi to become personally involved in the Godé Mpoyi affair and to restore his position as President of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly. These fathers and leaders of revival churches express their solidarity from the residence of Pastor Godé Mpoyi and denounce the events that led to his dismissal.
According to Pastor Kankienza, it is important to respect and consider men of God, especially in this election year when many candidates go to churches to speak. The way one of them was humiliated is unacceptable.
Recall that Godé Mpoyi was dismissed from his post as president of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly for negligence and abuse of power.
This call from religious leaders highlights the political role that revivalist churches can play in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These religious institutions have considerable influence on society and are often called upon by politicians during election periods
