Jean-Marc Kabund, a Congolese opposition figure and former first vice-president of the National Assembly, accused the authorities of managing the Ebola epidemic that has been affecting the Democratic Republic of the Congo for several months in a “farce-like” manner. He said the crisis reflected the “irresponsibility” of those in power in the face of a public health emergency, during a live Space session organised by journalist Stanis Bujakera Tshiamala on 28 August 2026.
The opposition figure said the situation went beyond a problem of organisation or technical expertise. He also accused the authorities of seeking to conceal the scale of the epidemic, according to his remarks.
