The governors of the 26 provinces of the DR Congo have just been each equipped with a Toyota all-terrain utility vehicle. This is a presidential endowment that addresses the problem of homeless provincial executives. The chief of staff of the Head of State, Vital Kamerhe proceeded, Friday, August 23, 2019, the official delivery of these vehicles to beneficiaries.

If at the indicative price sold to any buyer the unit costs US $ 62,000, the overall score paid and / or to be paid by the public treasury would amount to more than 1.6 million USD.

Although this presidential gesture is laudable, there are ways to recommend to the Cabinet of the Head of State to ensure that all these vehicles, acquired with public funds, be sent beforehand to the Technical Service of Administration. of the State for registration and registration in the national database.

« These are official vehicles, owned by the State, for the use of governors in the exercise of their functions. These are not private vehicles. Governors not to abuse, « insisted a Congolese citizen on Twitter.

This registration has the advantage of sending a strong signal to all state authorities to avoid buying vehicles whenever they want and to dispose of them as they wish.

« The STA, the department responsible for managing the state’s motor vehicle, must first register. This avoids the frequent misappropriation of public goods, financial mismanagement and a loss of revenue for the state, « commented another Internet user.

Moreover, the governors of the provinces also received, each, a lot of the official effigy of the head of state.

And in the next few days, they will get gear and farm inputs. This will materialize the commitment of the President of the Republic as part of its emergency program of 100 days.
