Fatshimetrie: Development Challenges in Kasai Central
In a letter addressed to the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, the Vice-President of the Kasai Central Provincial Assembly, MP Papy Noël Kanku Kabamba, expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the management of development projects in their province. His letter, written on four pages, raises crucial questions about the progress of the projects and the current situation in the province.
MP Kanku begins his letter by discussing the state of the Kasai Central province, describing it as a failed electron, on the fringes of the progress observed in other regions of the country. In particular, he questions the nature and effectiveness of the Kananga emergency urban resilience project, PURUK, financed by the World Bank to the tune of 100 million US dollars. This question raises doubts about the management and real impact of this project on the local population.
Asking whether Kasai Central is doomed to oblivion or abandonment, the MP highlights the difficulties encountered by the province in terms of development and infrastructure. He points out the lack of civil engineering equipment for public companies in charge of roads and drainage, highlighting a lack of resources and support from the central government.
Among the major concerns of MP Kanku is the issue of electrification of the capital of Kasai Central. Delays in the construction of the Mbombo hydroelectric power plant highlight the dysfunctions and obstacles to large-scale projects in the region. The MP calls on President Tshisekedi to resolve these urgent and essential problems for the development of the province.
In addition, the letter highlights the need for President Tshisekedi to grant audiences to local political and social forces, hitherto excluded from political and decision-making exchanges. This request for openness and inclusion highlights the importance of the participation of all local stakeholders in building a better future for the province of Kasai Central.
In conclusion, MP Kanku makes an important recommendation to President Tshisekedi concerning the inauguration of ongoing projects, in order to avoid any stoppage or delay in their completion. This recommendation underlines the importance of supervising and completing the projects started to ensure harmonious and sustainable development in the region.
In short, MP Kanku’s letter highlights the development challenges facing Kasai Central and underlines the urgency of concrete and effective actions to meet the needs of the local population. He calls for the mobilization of all stakeholders, from the central government to local authorities, to overcome obstacles and build a prosperous future for the province.
Ultimately, President Tshisekedi is expected in Kananga in the coming days to address these crucial issues and find solutions adapted to the development challenges of Kasai Central. This is a unique opportunity to move the province forward on the path to progress and prosperity, by meeting the legitimate expectations of its inhabitants and laying the foundations for a promising future for all.
