Kindu: Electricity, roads and economic development top expectations for Judith Suminwa

Kindu, capital of Maniema Province, is set to welcome Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka on October 26, 2026, on her first official visit to the province. The working visit focuses on infrastructure, energy and economic recovery under the government’s 2024–2028 action program. Residents are hoping for more reliable electricity, improved urban and agricultural roads, and better connections to the province. A motorcycle taxi driver says the poor road to the university and Lwama military camp makes a 7-to-10-kilometre journey take as long as two hours.
