The governor of the city of Kinshasa, Daniel Bumba Lubaki, has just taken radical measures to remedy the delicate financial situation of the Directorate General of Revenue of Kinshasa (DGRK). During a high-level meeting with the executives and agents of the agency, he stressed the urgency of the situation and promised concrete actions to get things back on track.
The DGRK, as a key entity in financing development projects in the Congolese capital, must imperatively improve its performance in terms of revenue mobilization. The alarming observation of low collection levels and delays in the payment of agents’ bonuses requires a rapid and effective response from the authorities.
Daniel Bumba thus announced a series of measures aimed at establishing a real shock cure within the DGRK. These include the allocation of registration numbers and service cards to all agents, an increase in the mobilization bonus, and the implementation of rigorous controls to combat fraudulent practices.
This ambitious action plan aims to restore the DGRK’s capacity to mobilize the resources needed to support Kinshasa’s development initiatives and improve the quality of life of its residents. The strong commitment of the Governor and the determination displayed by the Director General of the agency, Eddy Bitalo, suggest a more promising future for this crucial institution.
It is imperative that these drastic measures be implemented quickly and effectively to ensure the financial recovery of the DGRK. The support of local authorities and the involvement of all the agency’s staff will be crucial to the success of this undertaking.
In short, this strong reaction by the Governor to the precarious situation of the DGRK demonstrates his desire to make the management of Kinshasa’s revenues an absolute priority. The stakes are high, and it is essential that all stakeholders fully commit to this economic recovery process.
