Water and the environment are important topics for the citizens of the province of Kasaï in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A provincial deputy, Olivier Tombé, proposed a law to regulate the mechanism of management of effluents of rain and domestic origins in the province. This bill aims to provide the province with a tool that will allow it to better manage the environment. The province of Kasai has experienced environmental problems such as erosion and water-borne diseases due to poor household water management.
Oliver Tombé called on citizens to collaborate and respect the mechanisms once they are adopted by the provincial assembly. According to sources, this bill is the first of its kind in the province of Kasai.
The regulation of water and the environment is a crucial issue for the Democratic Republic of Congo, because it promotes economic growth and maintains public health. Citizens should therefore pay more attention to environmental issues and contribute to improving the quality of water and the environment.
