“Modest Bahati for a general census before the 2023 election”, LaUne headlines from the daily Forum des As. According to the newspaper, “high school speakers believe that the future CENI will need to present a calendar that prioritizes local elections.”
The daily L’Avenir, on the other hand, evokes the city of Goma, which now has its reference city plan. The population explosion, land movements, the presence of active volcanoes and social inequalities have driven the Ministry of Urban Planning and Housing and its experts to new reflections and the emergence of a new urban planning, the newspaper confirms. According to the daily newspaper L’Avenir, Pius Muabilu, Minister for the Sector, opened the workshop on Thursday for the presentation and validation of the preliminary draft reference city plan for this city.
Meanwhile, the three weekly Africanews watched the stormy negotiations over the price structure of fresh food. According to this newspaper, there is a deep disagreement between the government and the importers. The announcement of the fall in the price of frozen products was indeed pleasing to low-income earners, but it revealed tensions between the Minister of Economy and importers monitored by the FEC (Confederation of Companies in Congo) declaring Africanews colleagues, condemning the breach of the freedom of price and competition .
Case with chicken and Mpiodi: Sama Lukonde agrees with Minister of Economy, writes the daily newspaper Le Phare. This newspaper reports that the Prime Minister asked the Minister of Economic Affairs to take measures to materialize the fall in prices for frozen products and airline tickets validated by the Council of Ministers. Le Phare also adds that for the head of state, the discussion between the government and the FEC must lead to solutions that ease people’s everyday lives.
Finally, the daily La République Congo-Kinshasa’s 61 years of independence evoke a reflection by Gaston Mutamba Lukusa. This former banker calls for efforts to increase production. This country was promised the role of economic power in its independence, but it was betrayed by its elite, says Mutamba Lukusa. Referring to estimates from the World Bank, the former banker claims that it will take no less than 56 years for Congo-Kinshasa to recover its economy in the 1960s, provided that GDP continues to grow annually at an average of 5%. With Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo, the expectations are enormous, Mutamba Lukusa concludes before confirming: “He has a vision for Congo”.
