Journalists from the ruling party UPDS television channel have claimed they have not received their salaries for one year and a month.
President Fèlix Tshisekedi’s party has made outlandish claims while keeping its hired journalists hungry.
Journalists from the famous TV channel have been left in misery as they no longer know whom to claim their arrears from or devote themselves to amidst growing division and leadership conflict in the party’s subsidiaries.
In their last attempt to claim their salaries at UDPS Party General Secretary Augustin Kabuya’s residence yielded nothing positive as they were turned away empty handed.
There has been growing conflict and disorganization in the ruling party’s structures in the build-up to the December 20, 2023 presidential elections as members fight over leadership in the subsidiaries.
