Provincial Deputies Boycott Parliamentary Opening on September 30

Provincial deputies in Kinshasa boycotted the parliamentary session opening on September 30, demanding ten months of unpaid allowances and calling for the official ceremony to be canceled to pressure the government. In Kindu, Maniema, the session was marked by high tension, with the interim president denouncing destabilization efforts and prioritizing overdue payments. The Kasaï-Oriental province faces severe financial difficulties due to low revenue collection, hindering its ability to fund public policies and meet essential needs.
