**Need for roads and electricity in Grand-Kasaï**
In a region where generous nature coexists with the challenges of development, the urgent appeal of Bishop Félicien Tambwe resonates as a vital necessity for the inhabitants of Grand-Kasaï. Indeed, during the Nativity Mass in Kananga, the Metropolitan Archbishop strongly emphasized the urgency of building roads and providing electricity to meet the essential needs of the population.
Roads, vital arteries of development, are not only the symbol of connectivity between the different regions, but also the engine of the local economy. By facilitating the movement of people and goods, they constitute the foundation on which all economic expansion rests. Interprovincial and agricultural service roads are essential links to break isolation and promote trade. Without this efficient road network, Grand-Kasaï remains trapped in a straitjacket that hinders its development.
At the same time, electricity is the lifeblood of development. Homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, all need this energy to function and thrive. In an era where technology has become omnipresent, the lack of electricity is a major obstacle to education, health, and productivity. The promises to provide electricity made by the Head of State are therefore a step in the right direction, but they require rapid implementation to breathe new life into Grand-Kasaï.
The issue goes beyond simply meeting material needs. The lack of basic infrastructure such as roads and electricity has a profound social impact. The isolation caused by the lack of connectivity creates endemic poverty that pushes young people to seek more favorable horizons elsewhere. The rural exodus, in addition to draining the region of its vital forces, slows down the development process and accentuates inequalities.
Thus, the establishment of an efficient road network and the supply of stable electricity are not only economic imperatives, but also social imperatives to enable Grand-Kasaï to rise towards a better future. These investments, far from being superfluous expenses, constitute essential levers to unleash the untapped potential of this region rich in natural resources and human talents.
In conclusion, meeting the urgent needs of road construction and electricity supply in Grand-Kasaï is not only a question of material development, but a question of justice and equity towards a population that legitimately aspires to a better life. It is more than ever time to act to transform challenges into opportunities and give Grand-Kasaï the means to fully achieve its potential.
