Fatshimetrie: The Crucial Needs of the Population of Central Kasai
During the celebration of the mass dedicated to the nativity of Jesus Christ in Kananga (Central Kasai) in the presence of President Félix Tshisekedi and his delegation, Bishop Félicien Ntambwe brilliantly played the role of spokesperson for the people of Central Kasai. His frank and fair remarks highlighted the difficulties that the inhabitants of this province face on a daily basis.
At the heart of his homily, the bishop highlighted three major needs: roads, electricity and ravines, requiring urgent intervention by the Head of State to guarantee the survival of the population of Central Kasai. He rightly stressed that these infrastructures are essential to enable the people to fully integrate into the national economy and not remain confined to the role of simple consumers of imported products.
Bishop Félicien Ntambwe stressed the crucial importance of the Kalamba-Mbuji road, stressing that without access to electricity, Kasai Central risks seeing its wealth exploited by foreign countries, to the detriment of its own economic development. He warned against the risk of limited industrialization and the exodus of the population to other regions, condemned to suffer discrimination and violence.
The Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi, visiting the province of Kasai Central, promised to complete the construction of the Kananga-Kalamba-Mbuji road before the end of his mandate. This announcement, well received by the local population, underlines the strategic importance of this infrastructure for the socio-economic development of the region.
It is therefore imperative that the basic needs of the population of Kasai Central be taken into account and that concrete measures be implemented to improve access to roads, electricity and to combat soil erosion. Only resolute political action will ensure a prosperous and sustainable future for this region rich in potential.
In conclusion, Bishop Félicien Ntambwe’s call resonates as a vital emergency: Kasaï Central needs more investment and attention from the authorities to ensure a better future for its population. It is time to act collectively to meet the crucial needs of this region and to pave the way for harmonious and equitable development for all.
