The new impetus of the Kinshasa police: No more room for harassment
Since the arrival of the Deputy Divisional Commissioner, Blaise Mbula Kilimbalimba, at the head of the national police of Kinshasa, a new era of rigor and integrity has opened. During a meeting held on Saturday July 22, the Kinshasa city commander clearly warned the police officers who engage in harassment. He announced that the law would be applied with all its rigor to any police officer who would fall into this kind of practice.
This decision marks an important turning point in the fight against police harassment, a scourge that has deeply affected citizens’ confidence in law enforcement. By demanding the return of all private license plates held by the police, the Deputy Divisional Commissioner sends a strong signal: no more room for abuse of power and exploitation of drivers.
He also called for the responsibility of drivers by urging them to respect the rules of the road and not create situations that could expose them to abusive behavior by the police. For example, he asked drivers not to create parking lots not recognized by the city in order to avoid problems.
This new orientation of the Kinshasa police is an important step towards the consolidation of the rule of law and respect for the rights of citizens. By putting an end to police harassment, the authorities are helping to restore trust between the police and the population.
