The launch of work to complete National Road No. 5 (RN 5) between Bukavu and Kamaniola, in the province of South Kivu, was announced this Saturday, July 22, 2023 by the Minister of State for Infrastructure and Public Works, Alexis Gisaro. This initiative follows the instruction of the Head of State and President of the Republic, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, aimed at improving the social and economic conditions of the population.
The section of the RN 5 between Bukavu and Kamaniola is of particular importance for the local population, who were forced to go through neighboring countries, in particular Rwanda, to reach the two cities. This situation was unacceptable and required urgent intervention. Thus the President of the Republic instructed the Minister of Infrastructure and Public Works to launch the work to complete this road.
Alexis Gisaro, accompanied by the Minister of the Budget, Aimé Boji, stressed the importance of implementing the vision of the President of the Republic which aims to improve the living conditions of the population. This vision meets the aspirations of the Congolese people and the launch of the works of the RN 5 is a concretization of it.
The Minister of Infrastructure and Public Works also recalled that all the necessary arrangements had been put in place in collaboration with the competent government agencies to materialize this project. Thus, the launch of the works of the RN 5 between Bukavu and Kamaniola comes to meet the expectations of the population and contribute to the improvement of their living conditions.
This project to complete the national road will make it easier for the inhabitants of the region to travel, encourage trade and strengthen regional integration. It is part of a more global approach aimed at developing road infrastructure in the Democratic Republic of Congo and stimulating economic growth.
By launching this work, the Congolese government is demonstrating its willingness to face the country’s development challenges and to put in place the necessary infrastructure to promote the progress and well-being of the population. The construction of this national road will be one more step towards the construction of a strong and prosperous Democratic Republic of Congo.
