Deputy Bubasha Tangani'a, elected representative from Uvira, questions the South Kivu governor on the opaque management of the province's mining, environmental, and financial resources. He demands explanations on Lake Kivu carbon revenues and delays in infrastructure projects in Uvira and Fizi. This initiative, deposited on October 21, 2025, aims to strengthen transparency through parliamentary oversight.

On Tuesday, October 21, 2025, Bubasha Tangani'a David, provincial deputy for Uvira and president of the Defense and Security Commission at the South Kivu Assembly, formally questioned the governor with a letter deposited at the Assembly office. In this document, the elected official from Uvira points to several dysfunctions in the governance of the province, notably in the mining, environmental, and infrastructure sectors.

He criticizes the opacity surrounding the management of natural and financial resources. "We want clear explanations on the administration of the province, particularly on mining exploitation, Lake Kivu carbon revenues, and promised development projects," he declared to the press.

Bubasha Tangani'a highlights the case of gold bars recently seized, involving Chinese nationals. He demands clarification on the management of these minerals and on the revenues they generate. Regarding the Lake Kivu carbon project, supposed to bring in significant funds, he deplores the lack of transparency on the use of these resources. "The province's wealth is significant, but the population does not see its benefits. Where are these funds going?" he questioned.

The deputy also denounces inaction on infrastructure projects in Uvira and Fizi, notably the paving of urban roads. According to him, although the governor announced the availability of funds, no work has begun. "If the money is there, why do the roads remain unpaved? The population deserves answers," he affirmed.

Bubasha Tangani'a insists that his questioning falls within the prerogatives of the provincial Assembly, aiming to strengthen citizens' confidence in their institutions through transparent management.

The letter was received by the provincial Assembly and will be debated at a forthcoming plenary session, where the governor will have to answer the questions raised. For now, the provincial government has not reacted officially. This questioning revives discussions on transparency in the management of South Kivu's resources, a crucial issue for the province.
