Fatshimetrie, October 11, 2024 – The sanitation brigade of the commune of N’sele, located in the east of Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, recently made a firm commitment to restore the splendor of this municipality as part of the ambitious “Kinshasa ezo bonga” program initiated by the governor of the city.
Under the leadership of Gracia Obola, head of this brigade, the objective is clear: to clean up the commune of N’sele on a daily basis. This program embodies the vision of the governor of Kinshasa, Daniel Bumba, who has placed sanitation at the heart of his priorities since his mandate. It is time for Kinshasa to reconnect with its former magnificence, says Gracia Obola.
In his remarks, he emphasizes the importance of restoring all its splendor to the city, which is the very reflection of the country. Every corner, every street, must be impeccable for Kinshasa to regain its dignity. It is imperative to eliminate the waste that litters the streets and raise awareness among the population to adopt hygiene and sanitation practices in order to maintain this cleanliness.
Mr. Makengo Lemba, agricultural inspector in N’sele, highlights the benefits of cleanliness in terms of public health. According to him, a clean environment promotes better air quality and reduces the risk of diseases, particularly those linked to poor hygiene. He highlights the commendable work of the sanitation brigade which transformed the esplanade of the commune, formerly considered an open-air dump, into a clean and welcoming place.
In conclusion, the commitment of the N’sele sanitation brigade demonstrates a strong desire to restore Kinshasa to its former glory. It is a call for everyone’s responsibility to preserve the beauty of the city and guarantee the health of its inhabitants. Urban sanitation is a major challenge for building a sustainable and pleasant city to live in, where everyone contributes to making Kinshasa a reference in terms of cleanliness and hygiene. ACP/ODM
