Tshikapa, May 6th, 2025 (CPA). Everything needs to be redone as a matter of urgency in all sectors’, has said the governor of Kasaï at a press briefing held on Tuesday in Tshikapa, the main town of this province in the centre of the Democratic Republic of Congo., ‘Since I took over as head of the province, everything has had to be redone as a matter of urgency, in every sector (health, education, social affairs and even infrastructure). This justifies the launch of construction and rehabilitation work on urban roads through the Tshilejelu project (30 kilometres) and the Tshikapa-Kandjaji road, a political vision for the development of the province by the President of the Republic, Felix Antoine Tshisekedi’ has saidCrispin Mukendi, Governor of Kasaï. ‘To date, our advocacy has succeeded in saving National Road No. 1 (RN1), which was cut in two at Bondo village level, as well as the anti-erosion project that we have already launched across the town’, he has added. The Governor Mukendi has also indicated that an accelerated infrastructure reconstruction and repair programme has been set up, including the construction of Tshikapa national airport, the repair of the provincial governor’s residence, the construction of the headquarters of the provincial assembly, the rehabilitation of the residence of the chief commissioner of the Congolese national police and even the governorate building. The provincial authority has reaffirmed its firm commitment to bringing investors to the province, and announced the start of the second phase of the National Agricultural Development Programme (PNDA).
We’re doing everything we can to bring investors here. This justifies the presence of the Mining Registry in the province, an important tool for a mining region such as ours, with its diverse wealth, including diamonds and so on. Among the major constraints encountered in implementing the Kasai provincial government’s programme, he has mentioned the low rate of revenue maximisation by taxpayers. The Governor Crispin Mukendi was elected on April 29th, 2024 by the Kasai Provincial Assembly. He has succeeded Dieudonne Pieme and Marc Manyanga Ndambu. It is reminded.
