Kongo-Central: Provincial Assembly Highlights Budget Gaps and Calls for Cohesion
Matadi, DRC - During an inter-institutional meeting held on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, the Kongo-Central Provincial Assembly denounced the persistent lack of budgetary support for the provincial executive, which has hindered the execution of its duties over the past several months.
The discussions also reviewed the progress of major provincial projects and led to the adoption of a moratorium temporarily suspending motions and petitions to ease political tensions.
The rapporteur, Billy Ntunga, stressed that the meeting sought to clarify misunderstandings between institutions, noting that the province is not in crisis but is experiencing political misunderstandings that fuel a climate of mistrust.
