On this historic day of July 24, 2024 in Kinshasa, a crucial step took place for the improvement of governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Indeed, under the benevolent gaze of the Head of State, the agents of the companies belonging to the State portfolio affixed their signature to mandate contracts in the presence of leading political figures, including Prime Minister Judith Suminwa and the Minister of Portfolio, Jean Lucien Bussa.
This symbolic gesture is of capital importance because it aims to establish a new management model based on responsibility and transparency. The agents of public companies are thus called upon to fully assume their role in the economic development of the country. As the Minister of Portfolio emphasized, these companies must constitute an essential pillar of the Congolese economy by contributing substantially to growth, job creation and the state budget.
The signed mandate contracts mark the beginning of a new era where agents are required to respect strict guidelines aimed at strengthening good governance and modernizing the management of the companies under their responsibility. They must demonstrate innovation and engage in digital transformation to breathe new dynamism into these entities that are crucial to the country’s economy.
The Prime Minister also underlined the importance of technological developments in this process of modernization and efficiency. It is imperative that agents adopt an approach focused on accountability and the achievement of concrete results. By committing to defending the interests of the State, they must demonstrate integrity and dedication to boost the national economy and optimize the management of the State’s financial resources.
The chairman of the board of directors of the PHC company, Julia Luhonga Mamba, expressed her conviction that these mandate contracts will highlight the obligations and responsibilities of agents towards the Congolese state. This is a unique opportunity to promote new management practices and actively contribute to the economic development of the country.
In short, the signing of these mandate contracts represents a decisive step towards improving governance and consolidating the Congolese economy. It is a manifestation of the commitment of the agents to work for the general interest and to make each public enterprise a lever of national progress. Let us hope that these commitments materialize through concrete actions and tangible results for the benefit of the Congolese population.
