Territorial administrators in the Democratic Republic of Congo find themselves faced with a worrying situation. Indeed, in a recent statement, they expressed their distress over unpaid salaries for more than sixteen months. This situation puts them in a delicate position, preventing them from fully assuming their responsibilities and exercising their authority effectively.
These administrators, numbering 145, appealed to the Head of State to find a way out of this crisis which is hitting them. They emphasize the fact that they are responsible for managing sensitive issues such as customary conflicts, security and external threats. However, the lack of remuneration and financial support from the central government leaves them destitute and unable to carry out their mission adequately.
This situation highlights the difficulties faced by territorial administrators in the DRC, despite their efforts to ensure the proper functioning of their respective entities. It is crucial that measures are taken quickly to guarantee the payment of salaries and necessary subsidies to these local actors essential to the stability and development of the country.
It is essential that the government realizes the importance of financially supporting these territorial administrators, so that they can carry out their missions and contribute effectively to the authority of the State in their respective regions. Such recognition and adequate financial support would strengthen local governance and promote sustainable development throughout the country.
