The President’s allocation of $1 million to forty-seven dioceses in the Democratic Republic of Congo has sparked strong and passionate reactions. Jean-Pierre Bemba’s scathing words have highlighted the achievements and positive impact of these funds in the communities.
The response of Bishop Donatien Nshole, Secretary General of CENCO, underlines the ingratitude and malice of the accusations made by the VPM of Transport. He highlights the concrete actions undertaken by the dioceses to improve the living conditions of the populations.
The funds allocated have been invested in health, education and community development projects. Equipped health centers, modern schools and health infrastructures have emerged in different regions of the country. Bishop Nshole highlights Jean-Pierre Bemba’s lack of recognition for these achievements.
He also emphasizes that the systematic invitation of the State to the inaugurations of projects aims to promote transparency and collaboration between the Church and the authorities.
The dioceses have demonstrated their ability to effectively manage the funds allocated to meet the essential needs of the communities. The concrete achievements testify to the commitment and responsibility of religious actors in promoting social well-being.
Beyond political quarrels, the positive actions undertaken by the dioceses in the DRC deserve to be recognized and praised. These initiatives contribute to strengthening the social bond and improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable populations.
Ultimately, the funds allocated by the President to the dioceses of the DRC have enabled the implementation of concrete and significant projects for the development of the country. It is essential to recognize the positive impact of these actions and to value the crucial role of the Church in social transformation.
