The Kwango Provincial Assembly recently inaugurated its extraordinary session in a context marked by crucial issues for the province. The solemn opening of this session, which took place on Friday, July 26, 2024, highlighted the challenges and aspirations of the newly elected governor, as well as the expectations of the population in terms of socio-economic development.
At the heart of the discussions of this session are two major points: the presentation of the new governor’s program and the inauguration of his government. These key moments demonstrate the political will to respond to the social issues affecting the inhabitants of Kwango. Indeed, the governor of the province expressed deep concerns about the precarious socio-economic situation prevailing in the region, particularly with regard to the fight against poverty.
The President of the Provincial Assembly stressed the importance of supporting the executive in its mission by providing it with the necessary resources to implement its policy. By joining forces, local elected officials and the provincial government aspire to improve the well-being and quality of life of the people of Kwango.
Furthermore, the composition of the government of the third term of Kwango is also indicative of a desire for inclusion and diversity. The inclusion of three women among the ten appointed members, as well as the presence of a retired general as Provincial Minister of the Interior, demonstrates a desire for openness and pluralism within the executive.
In this context, expectations are high and the challenges are numerous. It is now up to the political and administrative actors of Kwango to work together with determination and commitment to meet the legitimate needs and aspirations of the population. This extraordinary session marks the beginning of a new era for the province, where collective action and shared vision will be essential to chart the course towards a prosperous and inclusive future for all the people of Kwango.
