**Fatshimetrie: Towards solutions to relieve congestion in Kinshasa**
In a speech broadcast during the State of the Nation address, President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi addressed a major issue that affects all residents of Kinshasa: the daily traffic jams that hinder traffic flow and impact the cost of living for many Congolese. This problem has significant repercussions on the quality of life of citizens and requires concrete actions to address it.
The Head of State announced that he had asked the Government to conduct an in-depth assessment of the measures currently in place in order to propose significant adjustments in the coming days. This initiative aims to improve the flow of road traffic and reduce travel times in the city.
In addition, President Tshisekedi welcomed the Government’s efforts to reduce the cost of basic necessities, in order to protect household purchasing power. Among these measures, the reduction in the price of fuel at the pump and the reduction in the price of basic foodstuffs are concrete actions that aim to ease the financial burden on Congolese families.
Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi stressed the importance of not just talking about food self-sufficiency, but of transforming it into a tangible reality. He pledged to provide increased support to the country’s fishermen and livestock farmers, in order to stimulate local production and guarantee access to healthy and affordable food for all.
In short, the political will displayed by President Tshisekedi to tackle traffic jams in Kinshasa and to strengthen measures to improve household purchasing power marks a significant step towards improving the living conditions of the Congolese. These actions, combined with an ambitious vision for food self-sufficiency, illustrate the government’s determination to meet the basic needs of the population and promote sustainable development for the entire country.
In order to ensure a better future for all the inhabitants of the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is essential to continue to support and strengthen these initiatives in favor of the economic and social well-being of all.
