The provincial governor’s request for the leader of Ensemble pour la République to postpone his tour in this province by 48 hours has shocked him.
The very tumultuous security situation in the province in recent weeks, in particular “cases of infiltration in the territory of Madimba of elements of the Mobondo militia, situation around which all the provincial security services are mobilized,” is used by the head of the provincial executive of Kongo-Central to support his decision.
Fiston Lutonadio, the regional coordinator for the Together party in the Republic, expressed his outrage at how Moise Katumbi is being shut out of one of his nation’s provinces.
Guy Bandu uses recent security concerns and the understaffing of the police to support his choice in his correspondence.
Guy Bandu Ndungidi, the governor of Kongo-Central province, requests that Mose Katumbi postpone his activities for 48 to 72 hours and then to keep them to just one day and one location in his letter of response to the national president of Ensemble pour la République’s information letter on the tour.
According to several accounts, the police destroyed the platform in Mbanza Ngungu this morning in order to host the meeting that Mose Katumbi had scheduled for Tuesday.
Ensemble Pour la République, Moise Katumbi’s party, has committed to use both diplomatic and legal means to handle the matter. To develop a solution that respects individuals’ democratic rights while also taking into account the security issues brought up by the province governor, they intend to hold negotiations with the pertinent authorities.
A controversial scenario has resulted from the refusal of Moise Katumbi entrance to the Kongo-Central region due to security concerns.
Supporters of Katumbi contend that this obstructs democratic processes while the province governor bases his decision on recent security occurrences.
The fact that Moise Katumbi was denied entry to the province of Kongo-Central not only interfered with his planned operations but also sparked public discussion and criticism.
Katumbi’s supporters voiced their unhappiness with the ruling, seeing it as a restriction on free speech and the political process.
However, detractors countered that given the province’s continuous security issues, the governor’s actions were appropriate.
