Speaking out, the president of the Liberté market union revealed to the city's head that there are politicians and provincial deputies who have made it a habit to demand quotas each month from the revenues generated by the Liberté Market.
Surprised, the city's foremost citizen of Kinshasa condemned all these mafioso practices and instructed the market's management committee to no longer grant privileges to anyone. Moreover, the urban authority invited the Liberté market officials to ensure social peace within this trading place and to intensify the sanitation efforts in all compartments of the market.
Governor Gentiny Ngobila promised to visit the site towards the end of the current month. For the delegation of the Liberté Market, Governor Gentiny Ngobila has just liberated the market from the clutches of its tormentors who have held it hostage for years. "We emerge from this meeting dumbfounded because we found the solution we have been looking for a long time.
We ask our fellow workers to trust their management committee because it defended its workers at the table, and we understood that there was a dark hand pillaging the Liberté Market’s revenues. I also ask the fellow workers to get back to work and to be serious in their tasks to set things straight," said Paulin Mamba, the president of the Liberté Market’s inter-union. For his part, the Liberté Market’s administrator, Didier Kabeya Ngunda, reassured all his agents that from now on, the salary will become regular as the city's governor has put an end to the predators’ reign over the Liberté Market.
He thanked the urban authority for its involvement in this matter, while promising to boost sanitation within the market.
