### Ngaliema: A new start under the sign of mobilization and security
On May 14, 2025, Kinshasa saw the installation of Mr. Fulgence Bolonkomo as an temporary bourgmestre in the commune of Ngaliema, a region carrying major issues for the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. When taking office, Bolonkomo highlighted the pressing challenges that his town must take up, such as the mobilization of public revenues, the security of people and goods, as well as the fight against juvenile delinquency.
### Mobilization of recipes: a crucial issue
The ability to mobilize and channel financial resources is a fundamental challenge for any municipality. In Ngaliema, as in other municipalities in Kinshasa, local finance management is often hampered by a lack of transparency and recipe collection systems that leave something to be desired. The bourgmestre A.I stressed the importance of the hard work of municipal agents to transform the resources available into tangible benefits for the population. The questions therefore arise: what strategies will be implemented to optimize this mobilization? Will there be a real collaboration between the various local actors, including citizens, to ensure this efficiency?
### Fight against juvenile delinquency: a social priority
The phenomenon of juvenile delinquency represents another major challenge for the municipality. Youth, often perceived as the future of a nation, is sometimes trained in negative dynamics. Bolonkomo spoke of the need for an integrative approach which involves both preventive solutions, such as educational programs and community engagement spaces, and adapted repressive measures. What initiatives could be envisaged to meet the needs of young people and divert them from delinquency, while involving them in constructive projects?
### Security: an omnipresent concern
Security is a major issue in many municipalities in the DRC, and Ngaliema is no exception to this reality. The safety of people and goods is essential to establish a climate of trust that promotes development. The appointment of Bolonkomo, from the ranks of civil servants in the town, could be an asset to prevent future disasters, but it is essential to assess the concrete strategies it will implement. How can it combine the efforts of the police with a community approach to strengthen the security of citizens?
### Sanitation and infrastructure: a call for action
Sanitation, often neglected in political speeches, remains a sine qua non condition of a healthy and pleasant life for any community. Faced with this, what vision can the new bourgmestre articulate to improve waste management and access to drinking water? The involvement of citizens in these initiatives could strengthen their adhesion and their responsibility towards the municipality.
### Conclusion: a vision of the future
With challenges as diverse as they are complex, the administration of Fulgence Bolonkomo seems to be heading for a decisive period for Ngaliema. Its promise of action and collaboration may well pave the way to a new era of local governance. However, the success of this company will inevitably depend on the capacity to establish constructive dialogues between the various actors involved, including the authorities, the organizations of civil society, and of course, the inhabitants themselves.
There are many challenges to be met, but they should not be perceived as insurmountable obstacles. On the contrary, they can constitute an opportunity to build a better future for Ngaliema together. The implementation of effective initiatives could not only contribute to improving the living conditions of citizens, but also strengthening the social fabric of this town.
