Fatshimétrie: The Sad Reality of the Lack of Resources in the Kasai-Central Province
The Kasai-Central Province, located in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is unfortunately the scene of a disastrous situation, a situation where the lack of essential resources is flagrant. During a recent visit by the Head of State to this region, Governor Joseph Daniel Kambulu highlighted a damning reality: everything is sorely lacking.
The words of the governor are unequivocal: “We have no water, no electricity, no food, no urban roads”. A statement that sums up the magnitude of the challenges that the population of this province faces on a daily basis. Basic infrastructure is non-existent or in a deplorable state, making the lives of the inhabitants extremely difficult.
The observation is bitter: local authorities find themselves facing an emergency on all fronts. The absence of entities such as the Roads Office (OR) and the Roads and Drainage Office (OVD) illustrates a profound structural deficiency. These organizations, supposed to ensure the good condition of the infrastructure, seem inoperative, even non-existent in this remote region.
Governor Kambulu highlights a sad reality: the emergency is everywhere, in every sector. Dilapidated roads hinder traffic, homes are without electricity, drinking water is a rare commodity. This precarious situation plunges the population into a spiral of endless difficulties.
Faced with this state of affairs, the governor calls for immediate action. It is imperative to take concrete measures to address these glaring shortcomings. The reconstruction of infrastructure, the improvement of basic services and the support of the central government are imperatives to get the Kasai-Central Province out of this impasse.
In conclusion, the situation in the Kasai-Central Province is alarming and calls for an urgent and coordinated response. It is crucial that the authorities do everything possible to meet the basic needs of the population and offer a better future to this forgotten region. The fate of thousands of inhabitants now rests on concrete actions and strong political will.
