The province of Tshopo is currently experiencing a period of political upheaval, with a recent case garnering significant attention and sparking numerous questions and speculations among residents. The focus is on the preventive suspension of the Director General of the DGRPT, Madam Mamita Lokamba Sifa, by the provincial Minister of the Economy, Héritier Bangala. This act has raised concerns about its legality and underlying motivations.
The suspension of Mamita Lokamba comes shortly after the departure of Madeleine Nikomba, the former governor of the province, who has transitioned to the role of National Deputy. The proximity in timing between these events has led to speculation about potential score-settling or internal disputes within the local political landscape.
The reasons cited for justifying the suspension of the DG are grave: insubordination towards provincial authority and the supervisory Minister, power usurpation, irregular organization of agents and executives without hierarchical approval, and failure to comply with scheduled meetings with the management committee members. These serious allegations raise doubts about the management of the DGRPT and the legitimacy of the director’s actions.
Some observers have drawn attention to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Interior, Peter Kazadi’s directive regarding the breach of the current affairs regime. This element adds a complex administrative dynamic to the local political issues, contributing to a confusing environment ripe for conjecture.
Amidst the legitimate questions raised, voices have emerged to defend the legality of Mamita Lokamba’s suspension. Maître Jean-Bedel Masombola, a lawyer from the Tshopo bar, provided expert opinion, emphasizing the alignment of the ministerial decision with the existing legal framework. He pointed out that the alleged misconduct by the DG could result in disciplinary actions, as specified in Law No. 16/013 of July 15, 2016, governing the status of state career public service employees.
In this tumultuous context, the appointment of Mr. Aimé Epenge as the interim head of the DGRPT highlights the authorities’ commitment to ensuring continuity in public services despite the political turbulence. The temporary appointment signifies a dedication to maintaining the institution’s smooth operation while awaiting further clarity in the situation.
In essence, Mamita Lokamba Sifa’s suspension raises crucial questions about local governance and public service management during a period of political transition. The legality of this decision and its implications remain central to ongoing discussions, signifying a pivotal moment in the political evolution of the Tshopo province.
