Title: Lucha denounces the mixed record of Governor John Kabeya
Introduction :
The citizens’ movement Fight for Change (LUCHA) recently expressed its disappointment with the first year in office of provincial governor John Kabeya. According to LUCHA, the latter would have failed to respect his program of action presented during his inauguration. In this article, we will come back to the criticisms made by the citizens’ movement and the consequences of this mixed assessment on the Kasaï-Central region.
A broken agenda and growing political intolerance:
According to LUCHA, Governor John Kabeya did not keep his promises and simply copied and pasted the programs of his predecessors. The expectations of the Central Kasai population, who hoped for real change, would therefore not have been met. In addition, the citizens’ movement denounces a growing political intolerance throughout the province, with numerous human rights abuses orchestrated by well-identified individuals.
Adverse consequences for the population:
This mixed record of Governor John Kabeya has direct repercussions on the population of Kasaï-Central. Citizens feel betrayed and disappointed by the lack of concrete results and the non-respect of commitments made. LUCHA points out that the province faces important problems such as insecurity and lack of development, which require real action from the leaders.
Future prospects :
Faced with this situation, LUCHA calls on Governor John Kabeya to show responsibility and take concrete measures to meet the needs of the population. The citizen movement recalls that the mandate of a governor is to work for the general interest and to advance the province. It remains to be seen whether the criticisms of LUCHA will have any impact on the governor’s future actions and on the fulfillment of the legitimate expectations of the population.
Conclusion :
Governor John Kabeya’s first year of governance in Kasaï-Central was judged in a mixed way by the citizens’ movement LUCHA. Criticisms center on non-compliance with the program of action and the growing political intolerance in the province. This situation has harmful consequences for the population, which was expecting real change. It is now time for the governor to take concrete measures to meet the needs of the population and to work for the development of the province
