National MP Alphonse Ngoyi Kasanji recently denounced the insults uttered against him by the Minister of Agriculture José Mpanda Kabangu during a meeting in Mbuji-Mayi. The latter, a national deputy candidate in the same electoral constituency, devoted his entire speech to attacking Ngoyi Kasanji, his former boss.
This affair raises questions about the minister’s real motivations. Some believe that this is a move to disorient public opinion, thus diverting attention from the population of Mbuji-Mayi, who is currently suffering from famine, and calling into question Kabangu’s contribution in as Minister of Agriculture.
Opinions about this event are divided. Some see Kabangu’s insults as a demonstration of the arrogance he was often accused of as former proxy president of SM Sanga Balende. Others interpret this as the zeal of a son wanting at all costs to take over from his father.
However, it is essential to keep in mind the real issues of this situation. The population of Mbuji-Mayi needs concrete solutions to deal with the famine affecting them. It is necessary for candidates, whether ministers or former governors, to focus on finding solutions and implementing effective measures to improve the situation of the population.
It is also important to emphasize the importance of respect and mutual understanding between political actors. Personal attacks and insults do nothing to resolve problems and are counterproductive to the search for collective solutions.
In conclusion, it is essential that candidates for national elections focus on the real issues and concerns of the population. Political debates must be conducted with respect and a constructive search for solutions. Let us hope that the incident between Ngoyi Kasanji and Kabangu serves as a lesson to all political actors and encourages a more positive and constructive dialogue for the well-being of the Congolese population.
