In addition, he affirmed his desire to collaborate closely with the National Assembly to defend the interests of Kongo-Central, particularly with regard to obtaining the 40% retrocession provided for by the Constitution.
Besides Papy Mantezolo, other members were elected to complete the final office of the Provincial Assembly. Joseph Nsalambi Ngabankita, Victor Nsuami, Billy Ntunga, and Omega Mbadu will bring their expertise and commitment to their respective positions of vice-president, rapporteur, deputy rapporteur, and quaestor.
