According to the FEC, this measure causes an enormous injury with the cement factories buildings which remainder are private of exemptions granted to them by the same government within the framework of the strategic partnership. This provision of Lucien Bussa bearing the importation of 100.000 tons gray cement from Brazzaville destabilizes the local cement factory whose capacity installed of annual production amounts to 3,2 million tons. Consequence, it increases poverty and unemployment.
The boss of the FEC, Albert Yuma, who expressed Thursday September 24 at the time of the re-entry of the organization of congolese employers, invited the government to promote "intelligent protectionism" to support the rise of local industry. He supported that with a domestic market of 100 million consumers, the DRC must stop any importing and to only export the ores.
