Très détendu comme il en a l’habitude et surtout qu’il tient à la modernisation et à la reconstruction du pays, Joseph KABILA s’est placé aux commandes d’un bulldozer, donnant ainsi le coup d’envoi de ces travaux dont la durée est prévu pour 100 jours. Et ce, en présence du président du sénat, Léon KENGO WA DONDO, du premier ministre Adolphe MUZITO, du Ministre des ITPR Fridolin KASWESHI MUSOKA et du gouverneur de la ville de Kinshasa, André KIMBUTA.

En ce qui concerne les travaux à réaliser, il s’agira pour la section 1 comprise entre le pont BASOKO et le boulevard du 30 juin, de l’élargissement du pont pour l’adapter au gabarit du profil à travers le lot 1 tronçon BAMBOLE-KIMBONDO, l’aménagement du rond point MOULAERT et ses environs, la construction des caniveaux, l’élargissement de la chaussée existante, l’aménagement des arrêts de bus et des trottoirs, l’élargissement et adaptation au type de 2x3 voies avec un séparateur amovible de 50 cm de base.

Pour les structures de chaussées à appliquer il s’agira de l’élargissement et du renforcement de 10 m BB.

Rappelons que le premier lot des travaux de l’avenue de la libération, longue de 13 Km et qui traverse 7 communes de la ville de Kinshasa (NGALIEMA, SELEMBAO, BUMBU, SELEMBAO, NGIRI-NGIRI, BANDAL et GOMBE.), a été lancé par le chef de l’état le mardi 25 mars 2008. La mise en service de cette route permettra en outre de désengorger la route de Matadi qui reste à ce jour la seule voie qui mène vers le centre ville.

Good to see that the constructiuon work is back again. One year was very long though. It definitely shows that there are problems financing certains construction works. It is sad to see that money has not been secured for all projects put forward and some of them may never see the light. I think we maybe better of securing the financing before starting a project or start with a few projects that we are certain we can finish and then move on to the next one.

There is no hope ….so disorganize and corrupt …. Chinese have put hold on all future disbursement until there is clear mechanism setup to avoid kick back and all other form of corruption. What is happening in Kin-Leo is unbelievable….. Leadership is totally inexistent; this is too dangerous for a post conflicts nation.

Beautiful! If all main roads in Kinshasa are enlarged it will give the city a unique touch in Africa. I like the work done so far.

Great, stuff Kaps. nice shots.

For so good.:) Side walks, Traffic lights and Lighting.

when are they going to build side walks and put the traffic light?

when are they going to build side walks and put the traffic light?

I don't know when, but i'm assuming after they complete the whole 13 km with Asphalt and the drainage. Just my assumptions.

^^That will be the case because it is part of the contract with China Guangdong Changde Highway Engeneering (CGCD), the Chinese company in charge of the construction.

I would like to see more work from the governess of North and South Kivu
I think Kivu if it was to get well developed it has a good chance being the most beautiful city in Congo.
I say this due to its lakes and parks.

This is the central government spending , not the governors. That caveman Kimbuta can't do anything like that, not even close. he hasn't even done anything.

Its lots of money to finace these works. Other than Katanga (which has those minerals) others aren't capable of financing this kind of works because they produce so little.

All Kivu provinces are destined for a bright tourism future. Unfortunately, all provincial governments in the DRC – with the exception of Katanga and Bas-Congo – are underperforming. There are almost no initiatives on the part to lure investors into their provinces; they expect the central government to provide everything.

I understand that
but look at the tourist and agricultural potential there is for those 2 places
plus those to places produce great business minded people. all they would need is a big enough developer to jump kick the process, and they can do the rest such as building hotels and recreational activities for tourist.

Hey guys is it true that the provincial government is slowing the development
process for the road from Bukavu to Goma?

The big developer can step in only if he can count on the authorities and the laws of the land to protect his investment. And this insurance must be given not only by the central government but also by the provincial government and, unfortunately, almost nothing is being done in this respect.

North Kivu has been having killing like no other. rebels all over, bandits and foreigners in the army everywhere. the sitiuation is very bad, especially up north in Butembo and Beni. North-Kivu governor last year and year before went to europe to look for investors . But what can you do when you have rebels and foreigners romming the province?

The governor of north Kivu has been doing good stuff, such as rural clinics, schools. he has been doing good work.
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=939470&page=2

Bas-Congo has Oil, Inga, Zongo , Ports, CINAT and CILU. thats lots of money. Katanga has all those monster mining projects there.

North-Kivu has Colton, but its not industrial scale like Katanga and the artisanal mining is controled by CNDP, FDLR, and some other individuals. so , its not controled or even industrial like in Katanga. Its hard to make money like when you barely controle anything.

I would like him to stop all exports until factories for refining are built. But who is going to stop the rebels?

East Kasai also is just MIBA. and Miba hasn't been active for about 4 years now. and all MIBA money Used to go to Kinshasa and nothing is given back.

Plus the Central government has Infrastructure projects in Katanga and Bas-Congo. Not all is being done by the Mbatsia and Katumbi.

Interesting I didnt know that.
I feel that if he can convince the west to intervene in the process for bringing peace in the north it can be done. look for example UAE, that place was able to be transformed into the economic capital of the middle east, with the west investors money.
also I think that the western investors would bring peace if they know whats in it for them.

Provinces have to make revenue in order to put infrastructures in place and with no infrastructures , business is very hard to do at a large scale or big business.

Plus the Central government has no strategy on how to bring peace in that region.

There are lots of business minded people in east. and some are being killed in broad day light.

Hey guys is it true that the provincial government is slowing the development
process for the road from Bukavu to Goma?

Which governor doing that? they are no governor financing anything. how can they/he slow it down?

The big developer can step in only if he can count on the authorities and the laws of the land to protect his investment. And this insurance must be given not only by the central government but also by the provincial government and, unfortunately, almost nothing is being done in this respect.

True, its the responsibilities of Provincial governors have to take the land issues and fix them and put a permanent Land laws.. but they are too weak or just don't know what to do .

This is the reason why i want this stone age Chef Coutimier or Tribal Chief things and powers to be bannished, abolished forever, no more tribal chiefs. they sell land to multiple people and the people end up fighting and even committing murder because of the desorders from the tribal crap.:bash:

We are a republic and must have republican ways. Not that tribal/Coutimier crap from the 1800s.

It is an undeniable fact that the security situation in North and South Kivu is a major obstacle to regional development. But it also a fact that, even without the security factor, the performance of these provinces remains bellow average due to political instability. Marcelin Tshichambo has just been elected as the 3rd (or 4th?) governor of South Kivu in just 4 years. How can a province have a coherent economic policy in such circumstances?

The West screwed us up when they supported Rwanda and Kagame. and Uganda/Museveni against Congo

How else are they going to be in favor of Congolese?

The West never been on Congolese people's side. Just let the West alone. Those who want to invest are welcome. But we should never depnd on the West. They don't care. They just want you to do dirty work for them.

I would agree with you on that.
I think that's what holds a lot of African nations back.
The people see tribal group first, and than the see you as a Congolese.

BUTEMBO21
just out of curiosity whats your take on Kabila?

South Kivu is a tatal mess. I have no idea what's with that Province. Maniema is also the same.

But i was talking about North Kivu though. Kasai Oriental isn't doing bad either. I like their governor Ngoy Kasanji. he has also been travelling to look for investors in Turkey, China , South Africa. etc... But MIBA out of business for 4 years now. and Kasai is 100% isolated. they don't even have electricity there.

I know Provincial governments have to do their parts as well. But besides Ktanga and Bas-Congo. what else do the others produce?

But the Central government must do it Job by interconnecting all provinces with each other by speeding up the Interstate highways (which they are doing, but at a snail pace.), Build Hydropower plants, help subsidize Agriculture and provide security on national territory.

The Chinese contracts are very slow. so far only building the road in Katanga and some in Kinshasa.

Hopefully the work will be spend up since the debts has been cut and now work must start all over the country for real.

Guys , lets leave this thread as a project thread. We are into politics and economics , way off topic.

Lets leave it Project.

Good to see sidewalks/pavements are being constructed.

But Kimbuta is a goat. he can even remove the freaking dead cars of the boulevard.:bash:

Kinshasa needs salvation .

The sidewalks that are being constructed in Kinshasa are very nice and large (5-m wide). On completion these modernized roads will change the face of the city. However, there is little hope that the ongoing beautification will have a lasting impact if the incompetent Kimbuta stays in office. One can see in the video that portions of the road are already covered with sand due to lack of maintenance. Four months ago, the provincial government displayed a score of brand new street sweeper machines/cars and announced a new strategy for keeping the city clean. Since then, nobody has seen these vehicles again, let alone heard of the “new strategy”. Ousting Kimbuta should be made a matter of national urgency.

WHERE ARE THEY?

5 m of side walk?:eek:. thats is fantastic for these big Boulevards. :yes:

Now its time to get rid of the stone age mini buses , replace them with Articulated modern buses. Bring back the rail with modern Trams. the city would be something else.

But thats only if that Goat (Kimbuta) is no more.

I was looking at the Avenue Universite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWy3Tp3zNuU&feature=related). It can also add to the wide beautiful avenues if expanded to 2x3.

Another Avenue i think needs expansion is Kasa Vubu Avenue. Its long and it can be easily expanded.

is going to be beautiful BUTEMBO :banana:

Thanks again Pius. Those houses along this postmodern road are disgusting, they mess up every small effort of "cinq chantiers". The government should impose a certain style of houses along all the high ways of Kinshasa. Does Kimbuta see this? By the way, can't someone invite Kimbuta to join this interesting forum?

Hi Pius. Thanks. But I am confused. Is it a 6 lanes (2x3) road or a 2x2? I thought it was a 6 lanes!

Hi Pius. Thanks. But I am confused. Is it a 6 lanes (2x3) road or a 2x2? I thought it was a 6 lanes!

Yes, it is a 6-lane road; you are actually a victim of an optical illusion... Look closely at the above pictures: each direction has 3 lanes, although the outer lane is hardly visible.
