Daniel Bumba Mbaki, Governor of the City of Kinshasa
The governor of Kinshasa, Daniel Bumba Lubaki, called on the capital’s residents to opt out of the 2026 property tax and 2025 rental income tax, during the tax day held on February 27 at the Central Station Square.
The city authority recalled that taxation constitutes an essential public policy financing lever. The expected revenues should notably support road construction and rehabilitation, security enhancement and urban sanitation operations.
In a context of increasing mobilization of local revenues, the governor stressed the need to improve fiscal civics in order to widen the tax plate and increase the city’s own resources.
A warning has also been addressed to agents of the Directorate General of Revenue of Kinshasa (DGRK). The urban hierarchy further demands rigor and integrity in tax collection, preventing any case of fraud or embezzlement from making the object of sanctions.
To accompany this campaign, new logistical means, vehicles, motorcycles and computer equipment were handed over to the provincial financial authority.
The aim is to strengthen control and recovery capabilities, improve traceability of operations and fight corruption.
This operation thus marks the transition from a sensitization phase to an operational deployment focused on performance, transparency and effective increase in local tax revenues.
