In the current context marked by persistent rumors of a possible privatization of the National Electricity Company (SNEL), the outcome of the situation has finally arrived. The contradictory information circulating on social networks has caused a wave of concern among SNEL employees and unions, calling into question the future of the company and its workforce.
After several days of turbulence and speculation, the national union delegation demanded a meeting with Luc Badibanga, Chairman of the Board of Directors, to clarify the situation. During this meeting, which took place on November 18, 2024, the various protagonists managed to dispel doubts and ease tensions within the company.
The statements of Kaya Kinzonzi Samuel, head of the union delegation, were reassuring for his colleagues. He stated categorically that no privatization project was underway within SNEL. This misunderstanding, fueled by false information, was thus able to be dispelled, allowing workers to regain a semblance of serenity regarding their future within the company.
Beyond the clarification on the issue of privatization, the meeting was also an opportunity to discuss the recent appointments of senior executives within SNEL. The unions welcomed the transparency and regularity of this appointment process, thus emphasizing the company’s desire to carry out compliant and transparent reforms to ensure its sustainability.
As SNEL looks to the future, a strategic plan is being developed to modernize the company, improve the quality of its services and strengthen its economic impact. This ambitious vision aims to transform SNEL into a key, efficient and competitive player in the electricity market.
In conclusion, this meeting between the union delegation and the SNEL management helped to dispel doubts and reaffirm the company’s commitment to transparent and participatory management. This episode also demonstrates the importance of social dialogue and clear communication to prevent tensions and guarantee a peaceful future for workers and the company.
