The Kasai regional dynamics in the Democratic Republic of Congo continue to evolve, but challenges persist, particularly with regard to essential infrastructure. The Metropolitan Archbishop of Kananga, Mgr Félicien Tambwe, recently highlighted the urgency of developing roads, electricity and combating ravines in this crucial region.
During his Nativity Mass at Saint Clement Cathedral, Mgr Félicien Tambwe solemnly called on the Head of State to pay particular attention to these basic needs. As the spokesperson of the people, he expressed the urgent need to strengthen road infrastructure, ensure access to electricity and prevent risks related to ravines.
The construction of interprovincial and agricultural service roads is essential to stimulate the local economy and promote the mobility of people and goods. Bishop Félicien Tambwe stressed that the isolation of Grand-Kasaï hinders the development of the region, and that strategic investments are needed to overcome these obstacles.
President Félix Tshisekedi has promised to address these urgent needs, committing to provide electricity and improve road infrastructure in the region. However, the lack of access to electricity and quality roads continues to weaken the local population, increasing poverty and pushing many young people to seek opportunities elsewhere.
It is clear that the development of Kasaï is inseparable from the improvement of its basic infrastructure. Investing in road construction, access to electricity and prevention of natural hazards is essential to promote the well-being of the inhabitants and stimulate the economic growth of the region.
In conclusion, it is urgent that concrete measures be taken to address the critical infrastructure needs of Kasaï. The government’s commitment to the sustainable development of the region will be crucial in ensuring a prosperous future for the people of Kasai.
