An allocation of 210 million Congolese francs is funding the resumption, on 9 November 2026, of payments of salary arrears to public administration staff in Kinshasa. The arrears concern December 2025 and February, March and April 2026, according to the Kinshasa public administration inter-union body cited by Le Potentiel.

Payment of salary arrears owed to officials and staff of Kinshasa’s urban public administration will begin on Monday 9 November 2026 at two sites, in Wangata and at 1st Street Limete TP, according to a statement from the Kinshasa public administration inter-union body consulted by Le Potentiel.

The operation concerns outstanding remuneration for December 2025 as well as February, March and April 2026. The beneficiaries are from urban divisions, financial agencies and political offices, according to the inter-union body, which is urging them to go to the designated payment sites.

The operation follows the release of 210 million CDF for salaries, announced on 8 November 2026. It comes three days after the DRC launched a public sector salary reform, announced on 6 November.
