The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, recently inaugurated three major projects in Kinshasa, the country’s capital. These are the Kinshasa general reference hospital (formerly known as Maman Yemo), the new buildings of the National Pedagogical University (UPN) and a financial center housing the Ministries of Finance and Budget .
These inaugurations demonstrate the progress made by President Tshisekedi in consolidating the achievements of his five-year term, a promise he put forward during his electoral campaign. The Kinshasa general reference hospital, entirely funded by the Congolese government, meets a crucial public health need.
As for the new UPN buildings, they follow the renovation of two student residences inaugurated previously, thus demonstrating the government’s commitment in the field of education and training. These modern infrastructures will provide a better learning environment for university students.
Another major project is the financial center, the result of a partnership with Turkey, worth $290 million. This complex will be managed transversally, with the presence of a 19-story Marriott hotel housing 240 rooms. This partnership will also allow the Milvest company to recover its own investment estimated at more than 60 million US dollars over a period of 49 years.
The inauguration of these strategic projects a few days before the elections underlines the importance given by President Tshisekedi to the realization of his commitments and aims to highlight the tangible achievements of his mandate. While some criticize him for a mixed economic and social record, these projects demonstrate his desire to develop essential infrastructure for the well-being and prosperity of the Congolese people.
By finalizing this major work, President Tshisekedi is demonstrating his determination to improve the living conditions of citizens and lay the foundations for a better future for the Democratic Republic of Congo. These projects usher in a new era of development and demonstrate the government’s commitment to promoting economic growth and social progress in the country.
In conclusion, these inaugurations represent significant progress in the development of Kinshasa and in the realization of President Tshisekedi’s promises. They strengthen hope for a better future for the Democratic Republic of Congo, with a focus on key sectors such as health, education and finance.
