The tumultuous relations within the political class, the fight against the rise in prices and the hunter of bad managers interested the newspapers of Kinshasa this week.
Katumbi shakes the Sacred Union house
It is in the tri-weekly
AfricaNews
, a newspaper which writes that the leader of Ensemble pour la République evokes three red lines not to be crossed in the current political situation. He warns that he would distance himself if the Tshiani law on dual nationality were to be even programmed, writes the newspaper which, then, quotes the 2 other red lines that are the designation of the members of the Ceni and the elections of 2023, elections that cannot be postponed, according to Moïse Katumbi. According to
AfricaNews
, the Katumbists firmly believe that their tenor has the merit of asking questions that need answers rather than invective.
For its part, the daily
Le Potentiel
headlines on the Kinshasa provincial deputies who took to the streets last Wednesday.
They haven't been paid for several months.
A fact that is out of the ordinary, according to the newspaper
Le Potentiel
,
which portrayed Wednesday's show: “
With banners and whistles, they protested loudly in front of the central government's finance ministry to demand the payment of about ten months in arrears of their emoluments.
It is time,
writes the newspaper,
that the government accedes to the claim of the provinces for the withholding at source of the retrocession of the 40 percent of the national revenues due to the provinces and other decentralized entities
”.
The daily
Le Phare
warns that the new frozen prices are partially applied in Kinshasa, and reports that consumer associations have contacted the Minister of the Economy.
Some importers pretend to charge the new prices agreed with the government, explains
Le Phare
, but behind the scenes, they are holding stocks or fraudulently selling fresh food at the old rates.
In order to successfully carry out this fight against rising prices, reports
Le Phare
, the Minister of the Economy Jean-Marie Kalumba has invited the population as a whole to take ownership of this fight, which aims to protect the Congolese consumer.
Designation of the candidate president of the Ceni
The report of the Joint Committee of the Parliament will soon be on Mboso's table, it is in the daily
Forum des As
which echoes the announcement made by Modeste Bahati Lukwebo. The President of the Senate met with his colleague from the National Assembly, Christophe Mboso. "
Work within the Joint Committee is progressing normally,
" he said.
Finally, the bi-weekly
Le Maximum
headlines: "
Alingete intractable on the use of public funds
". It is only for 12 months that Jules Alingete Key, head of department, has been at work at the presidency of the Republic "
to track down the embezzlers of public funds and fight corruption
". The bi-weekly is about counterattacks coming from everywhere, even from where you least expect it. No wonder, notes
Le Maximum
who continues: "
Until recently invisible on radar, the IGF has gained traction in public opinion by asserting itself as a policeman of financial orthodoxy in the management of the apparatus of the State
