The provincial executive of Kasai Oriental recently launched consultations with the population. The objective of this approach is to collect the wishes and observations of the inhabitants concerning the management of the province. The consultations began with meetings with religious leaders, who expressed recommendations such as proximity to the population and regular communication through the media. Heads of higher and university establishments also had the opportunity to discuss with the provincial authority, focusing on the development of the diamond capital. Students, youth, civil society and the media in Mbuji-Mayi were also consulted.
These consultations take place in a context of political crisis and the disqualification of the President of the Provincial Assembly of Kasai Oriental. The UDPS welcomed this initiative and called on the provincial deputies to take a greater interest in the management of the executive. The current situation is creating instability within the province, and it is crucial to resolve it.
By collecting the opinions and observations of the population, the consultations allow the provincial executive to have a better understanding of the needs and concerns of its constituents. It also offers the opportunity to establish more transparent communication and build trust between the rulers and the ruled.

In the coming weeks, consultations will continue with other groups and segments of the population. It is expected that these exchanges will make it possible to identify concrete courses of action to improve the management of the province and meet the needs of the inhabitants.
In conclusion, the consultations of the population in the province of Kasai Oriental are paving the way for more participatory and transparent governance. By involving citizens, it is possible to better meet their expectations and build together a better future for all.
