Laurent Batumona arrested or arrested: the Congolese worried
Since June 12, 2023, Laurent Batumona, Senior Executive and Grand Political Leader, has been missing. The versions differ as to his fate, some speak of arrest, others of arrest. Despite everything, the vagueness surrounding this affair agitates the spirits, while the electoral deadlines approach.
There are many concerns, especially among his allies in the Solidarity Movement for Change. As a faithful defender of the vision of Félix Tshisekedi, Laurent Batumona could well suffer the same fate as “Kamerhe and others”. But why do we blame him for anything? The competent authorities remain silent on the subject.
Laurent Batumona has held important positions at the General Directorate of Public Debt (DGDP) since his appointment by the Congolese president. His colleagues also expressed their interest in the possible questioning or arrest of the Senior Executive. Nevertheless, it is important to leave room for a possible legal matter or pre-judicial investigation to deal with the file which concerns him.
The timing of this affair is not trivial, with the approach of the national elections which will be coupled with the presidential election of December 20, 2023. The vagueness surrounding the fate of Laurent Batumona does not help matters and causes concern among the Congolese .
Ultimately, it is crucial that the authorities communicate formally on this matter in order to ease tensions and shed light on this situation. In the current political context of the Democratic Republic of Congo, transparency and fairness are essential to maintain a climate of serenity and harmony within the population.
