The speech of recovery and rehabilitation that marked the visit of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi to the city of Kanyama Kasese, in the province of Haut-Lomami, resonates like a breath of hope in a country in search of renewal. The evaluation of the agro-pastoral program implemented by the builders of the National Service, under the enlightened leadership of General Kasongo Kabwit, illustrates the commitment of the Head of State to youth and agricultural development.
While visiting the Félix Tshisekedi training and instruction center, the President addressed words of encouragement marked by firmness and benevolence to the young builders. Love of neighbor and homeland, cardinal values instilled in this place of learning and re-education, are the key to a bright future for the Congolese nation. The assurance that the State will not abandon them strengthens the determination of these young people to fully invest in building a better Congo.
The presidential visit continued in Kasese, where President Tshisekedi was able to see first-hand the impressive achievements of the builders. From the airfield rehabilitated by the National Service to the health and education infrastructure and cattle breeding, each project demonstrates the government’s commitment to rural development and the empowerment of local communities.
Beyond agro-pastoral activities, the National Service also stands out in the production of school furniture and the renovation of public buildings. The delivery of more than 1,500 benches to educational institutions in Kinshasa attests to the positive impact of these initiatives on Congolese youth. At the same time, the sanitation and rehabilitation of health infrastructure, such as the Kintambo Maternity Hospital, contribute to improving the living conditions of the population.
The presidential tour does not end there. After his visit to Kaniama Kasese, President Tshisekedi will continue his stay in the south-east of the DRC, inaugurating major projects such as the zinc plant of the mining company Kipushi Corporation in Lubumbashi. His commitment to the industrial and mining development of the country is reflected in concrete actions and strategic meetings with local stakeholders.
In conclusion, President Tshisekedi’s inspection visit to Kanyama Kasese embodies the hope for a better future for the Democratic Republic of Congo. By valuing the work of the builders of the National Service and supporting local development initiatives, the Head of State affirms his vision of a prosperous, united and resolutely forward-looking Congo.
