Kinshasa, October 22nd, 2026 (CPA). -The deputy mayor of the commune of N’sele, in eastern Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has been suspended from his duties by the provincial Minister of the Interior for failing to fulfill the duties of honor and integrity associated with his office, according to a letter received by the ACP on Thursday.
“On the instructions of the Governor of the City of Kinshasa, Daniel Bumba, I hereby suspend you from your duties and await the conclusions of the investigations opened into this matter by my office.
Please accept, Mr. Deputy Mayor, the assurance of my patriotic regards,” wrote Jeannot Canon La Rose, Provincial Minister in charge of the Interior for Kinshasa.
