Fatshimétrie: A decisive meeting for good governance in Kinshasa.
The meeting between the governor of the city of Kinshasa, Daniel Bumba Lubaki, and the Inspector General of Finance-Head of Service, Jules Alingete Key, proved to be a crucial moment for the future of financial management in the Congolese capital. This meeting, which took place on Friday, October 25, 2024, was an opportunity for the two actors to discuss the directions to be taken to ensure transparent and efficient management of the city’s resources.
The initiative of the governor of Kinshasa to seek advice from the IGF demonstrates his desire to strengthen good governance within the city hall. Indeed, Daniel Bumba Lubaki expressed his desire to benefit from the expertise of the IGF to improve the management of contracts with economic operators. This approach reflects the provincial executive’s desire to put in place effective mechanisms to strengthen the city’s revenues and ensure optimal use of public funds.
For his part, Jules Alingete Key pledged to support the provincial executive in this approach by highlighting the importance of good governance in the management of public affairs. He stressed the need to closely examine the various contracts linking the city of Kinshasa to various economic service providers, in order to ensure the transparency and efficiency of transactions.
This meeting between the Governor of Kinshasa and the Inspector General of Finance-Head of Service is particularly important in the current context of the fight against corruption and anti-values. Indeed, President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi’s vision for good governance was a central element of the discussions. The proposed reforms aim to improve the management of resources in the Congolese capital and to combat practices that hinder the economic and social development of the region.
In conclusion, this meeting marks a significant step towards a more transparent and efficient management of public funds in Kinshasa. The commitment of local authorities to work in collaboration with the IGF demonstrates their determination to establish a culture of good governance within the administration. Let us hope that these efforts will translate into concrete and sustainable results for the well-being of the citizens of the city province of Kinshasa.
