In the world of business and politics in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the general assembly of state-owned enterprises is a major event. Closed on Saturday, December 14 in Kinshasa, these meetings were the scene of many strategic recommendations for the country’s economic future. Participants expressed the need for the Government to appoint public officials based on strict criteria, such as the required profile, level of education, professional background, as well as integrity and moral probity. These recommendations aim to ensure efficient and transparent management of public enterprises.
One of the main concerns raised during these general meetings was the need to implement priority investment plans for the rehabilitation and renewal of the structures and production tools of public enterprises. Indeed, modernization and competitiveness are crucial issues for the country’s economic development. It is imperative to support these companies by providing them with the necessary means to adapt to market requirements.
Participants also called on the Government to put in place incentive measures to revive state-owned enterprises. These measures could take the form of public investments, partnerships with the private sector, or training and support programs for managers and employees of state-owned enterprises. It is essential to create an environment conducive to the development and growth of these companies, so that they can contribute significantly to the national economy.
To make all these recommendations effective, it is crucial that the Government fully commit to implementing the necessary reforms. This requires strong political will, but also close collaboration with private sector stakeholders, civil society and international partners. It is also essential to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of state-owned enterprises, to restore the confidence of citizens and investors.
In conclusion, the general meeting of state-owned enterprises highlighted the challenges and opportunities facing the public sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is time to act decisively to modernize and energize these companies, and thus contribute to the economic and social development of the country. Through concrete actions and a long-term vision, it is possible to transform these recommendations into tangible actions for a prosperous and sustainable future.
