The governor of the city province of Kinshasa, Gentiny Ngobila Mbaka, has made available to the National Service 350 young delinquents known as "Kuluna," according to a press release.

The statement reads: "The governor of the city province of Kinshasa handed over 350 Kuluna to the National Service for their transfer to Kanyama Kasese starting this Tuesday. The official ceremony took place at the provincial headquarters of the Congolese National Police, in the presence of a few members of the provincial executive and other dignitaries."

Furthermore, the urban authority announced that this group of Kulunas will be embarked this Tuesday so that they can perform public interest work, notably in the fields, in accordance with the instructions of the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, reports the same source.

According to this source, Gentiny Ngobila thanked the Kinshasa city national police for having apprehended all these individuals who have sown terror. He called on the women and men of Kinshasa to collaborate with the police so that the city can be permanently rid of unruly elements.

For his part, the commander of the National Service, Kabwik Kasongo, pointed out that these suspected bandits will be transformed through discipline. For him, the greatest weakness of these youths is the lack of discipline for themselves, for society, and for the state.

He also clarified that the National Service is not a dumping ground where all the "Kulunas" will be taken in. Its purpose is to recruit young volunteers who wish to serve the nation through different professions. The void they have left will be filled by good citizens.

As for him, the commander of the Kinshasa city national police, Deputy Commissioner Blaise Kilimbalimba, expressed his satisfaction at having fulfilled a part of the mission assigned to him by his superiors, announcing that more than 2000 Kulunas are awaiting their judgment.
