DRC: 780 provincial deputies demand ten months of unpaid allowances

The 780 provincial deputies of the Democratic Republic of Congo are denouncing the delay in the payment of their allowances, which have accumulated over ten months. Despite President Félix Tshisekedi's instructions to the Minister of Finance, their financial situation remains unresolved. The secretary of the collective, Marcel Zuambe, highlights a disparity in treatment between provincial deputies and national deputies, who receive their allowances regularly. They are calling for urgent intervention from the Ministry of Finance to ensure the proper functioning of provincial assemblies.
