During an exceptional meeting of local authorities in Kinshasa, under the aegis of Governor Daniel Bumba Lubaki, a collective awareness and calls for action marked this crucial meeting for the restoration of the image of the Congolese capital.
The problem of the current situation in Kinshasa was addressed firmly and lucidly by the governor, highlighting the major challenges facing the city. Far from considering this situation as inevitable, he called for moral rearmament, inviting each local actor to fully assume their responsibilities to restore Kinshasa to its former prestige.
One of the main criticisms made concerns the laxity that reigns in many areas, ranging from the unsanitary streets to the proliferation of pirate markets and the anarchic occupation of public spaces. For the governor, it is urgent to act concretely and effectively, by implementing measures such as regular cleaning operations, systematic street sweeping and rigorous maintenance of gutters.
This firm speech is accompanied by a call for unity and solidarity, emphasizing that the recovery of Kinshasa cannot be achieved without the commitment and mobilization of all. It is a question of aligning with the vision carried by President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, included in the “Kinshasa ezobonga” program, and of making the capital a model for the entire Congolese nation.
The task awaiting local authorities is immense, but the message of hope and determination launched by the governor resonates as a call for immediate action. Indeed, Kinshasa deserves to regain its past grandeur, and it is by joining forces that local actors will be able to restore the capital to its former glory and pride. The road is strewn with pitfalls, but it is together, in a collective and united spirit, that the renewal of Kinshasa can be accomplished.
