Twenty of the 33 MPs present voted on 6 November 2026 to summon Joseph-Moïse Kambulu, governor of Kasaï-Central, over the management of the province. The initiative will notably examine implementation of the provincial programme, completed projects and resources mobilised, according to Mediacongo.

Twenty of the 33 MPs present at the Kasaï-Central Provincial Assembly voted on Friday 6 November 2026 in favour of summoning Governor Joseph-Moïse Kambulu Nkonko. The initiative, led by Willy Wishiye Bakatushipa, an elected representative from Kananga, seeks explanations on the management of the province over the past two and a half years, according to Mediacongo.

Willy Wishiye Bakatushipa notably wants an assessment of the provincial government's achievements, the status of completed or ongoing projects, the financial resources mobilised and the difficulties encountered in different sectors. He presents his initiative as an exercise in parliamentary oversight aimed at strengthening transparency and accountability, Mediacongo reports.

The summons is intended to allow provincial MPs and the public to assess the record of the provincial executive halfway through its term. The plenary session at which the vote took place was chaired by Guy Sabangu Kashala, according to Mediacongo.
