The President of the Upper House of the Parliament of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Senator Modeste Bahati, recently opened the last session of the third legislature in the Senate in Kinshasa. During his opening speech, he recommended that the government improve the living conditions of the Congolese population.
According to Senator Bahati, it is crucial that the government puts in place measures aimed at meeting the needs and expectations of the Congolese people. He stressed the importance of focusing on priority actions that can improve the standard of living of the population.
One of the government initiatives welcomed by the President of the Senate is the local production of tiles and earthenware. This measure aims to reduce the country’s dependence on imports of these construction materials, while promoting job creation.
The health sector was also addressed by Senator Bahati. He urged the government to provide adequate responses to the demands of health professionals, particularly regarding free maternity. The senator stressed that health is an important challenge that must be met by the universal health coverage program initiated by the Head of State.
Furthermore, public administration was a subject of concern for the President of the Senate. He stressed the importance of identifying agents in order to allow the government to control the actual numbers. This would also help recover money spent on fictitious or duplicate agents. The savings thus made could be reinvested to increase the salaries of active civil servants.
In conclusion, Senator Modeste Bahati called on the government to take concrete measures to improve the living conditions of the Congolese population. Through these recommendations, it emphasizes key areas such as local production, health care and public administration. By responding to these challenges, the government will be able to truly advance the quality of life of the Congolese.
