Kinshasa’s central market, known as “Zando”, is currently under construction. A recent working session chaired by the General Inspectorate of Finance made it possible to assess the progress of the work and discuss the planned delivery date. The parties concerned, including the provincial Ministry of Infrastructure, the Sogema Company, the CNC Construction Company and the SOFIBANQUE Bank, were present at this meeting.
The objective of this meeting was to ensure that the Kinshasa central market, once completed, will meet expectations in terms of functionality. It is expected that this market will have 630 stores, an area of cold rooms and warehouses, as well as 52 stairwells to facilitate circulation between the different levels. In addition, a gas station and parking lots will also be built.
The General Inspectorate of Finance attaches great importance to respecting the deadlines initially planned. She therefore asked the service providers to communicate the precise date of delivery of the contract to the Congolese State. In the interest of transparency, it has been agreed that discussions will continue on Tuesday, November 28.
This project to build the central market in Kinshasa is of great importance for the population of the Congolese capital. Once completed, it will provide numerous business opportunities and contribute to the economic development of the region. It is therefore essential to ensure that the work progresses according to the planned schedule.
In conclusion, the evaluation of the progress of the work on the central market of Kinshasa during the recent meeting chaired by the General Inspectorate of Finance constitutes an important step in the realization of this project. It is essential to respect the announced deadlines in order to deliver a functional market that meets the expectations of the population. Ongoing discussions will make it possible to set a precise delivery date and closely monitor the progress of the work.
