Moïse Katumbi continues his electoral campaign. After the province of Ituri, Moïse Katumbi and his allies Matata Ponyo and Seth Kikuni arrived this Thursday in the city of Goma, capital of the province of North Kivu.

Criticizing the result deemed negative of the state of siege decreed in North Kivu and Ituri by the Head of State since May 2021, Moïse Katumbi promised that once elected President of the Republic, he will set up a fund special estimated at 5 billion dollars for the pacification of these two provinces shaken by growing insecurity.

Welcomed by a large crowd of supporters and officials from his political party and his allies, Moïse Katumbi, president of the “Together for the Republic” party and presidential candidate, held a meeting at the Afia stadium where he discussed this special fund .

“In January 2024, if you elect me as president, we will have a special fund of 5 billion dollars for North Kivu and Ituri. I am a man of action and I am not a diversionist. I am the man of actions, I am not the man of promises. Insecurity is in full swing here and they took these M23 people to Kinshasa. But we are going to end this war, children of Goma. I bought a house here in Goma so that North Kivu and Ituri could be liberated”, he said.

“A father does not cry, but finds solutions. They’re whining about the M23, but I’m here, fire against fire to put an end to it. I will come and live here in Goma to end this war. I’m going to bring warplanes, not these boxes of planes, but warplanes like the M16. No roads, unemployment exceeds the limits. My face doesn’t look like someone who is cheating. We are at war, but these people are having parties”, added Moïse Katumbi.

He was supposed to continue his electoral campaign in the rural district of Oïcha, capital of the Beni territory this Friday for the continuation of his electoral campaign as a prelude to the general elections scheduled for December 20 in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Current President Félix Tshisekedi recently declared that several residents of localities in this eastern part of Congo will not participate in the elections because of growing insecurity.

The political leader of M23 Bertrand Bisimwa announced last Saturday in a press conference that “the elections will be considered a non-event because part of the population in the areas under our control will not participate in them.”
