Concern for the security and tranquility of citizens is a fundamental responsibility of the authorities, and it is with this in mind that the Deputy Minister of Justice and International Litigation, Samuel Mbemba, recently sensitized young people from various sports disciplines on the issue of urban banditry in Kinshasa.
During a meeting organized at the municipal field of the Bandalungwa commune, Samuel Mbemba sent a strong message to young people, encouraging them to reject the criminal behavior of the kuluna and to act as responsible citizens to protect their community. He stressed the importance of supervising young people to keep them away from criminal activities and guide them towards positive paths for their future.
The Deputy Minister’s call for vigilance and community action recalls the commitment of Kinshasa athletes, who once defended the nation against external threats. He emphasizes the crucial role of athletes in preserving the integrity and security of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as guardians of the country with its important institutions.
Furthermore, Samuel Mbemba also addressed the issue of the revision of the Constitution, arguing that it could contribute to strengthening the functioning of the State. Referring to Article 217 of the fundamental law, he highlights the possibility for the country to conclude international agreements to promote African unity, thus emphasizing the importance of adapting to current developments and challenges.
This awareness raising among young people on security and citizenship issues is of paramount importance in a context where social and economic challenges can sometimes lead to deviant behavior. By encouraging community engagement and individual accountability, Samuel Mbemba and the authorities aim to build a safer and fairer society for all.
Ultimately, the fight against urban banditry and the promotion of a culture of legality require the involvement of all actors in society, from authorities to citizens, athletes and young people. By joining forces and strengthening social cohesion, it is possible to build a better future for all the inhabitants of Kinshasa and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
