  • The operation aims to enhance road safety, reduce risks from faulty vehicles, and ensure environmental compliance.

The Kinshasa Vehicle Inspection and Impoundment Authority (RFCK) has confirmed that the deadline for vehicle technical inspections remains August 31. Following this date, a comprehensive and systematic lockdown will be enforced throughout the capital city.

Joseph Kasinzi, the Director General of RFCK, stated that this operation is designed to identify and immobilize vehicles that do not meet the required technical inspection standards. The initiative aims to bolster road safety, mitigate the dangers posed by defective vehicles, and ensure adherence to environmental regulations.

The RFCK, a public entity within Kinshasa, is responsible for the periodic inspection of automobiles and motorcycles. It also manages impound lots and the immobilization of vehicles found to be in violation of regulations.

This strict enforcement underscores the city's commitment to improving road safety and environmental standards. Vehicle owners are urged to comply with the deadline to avoid having their vehicles impounded.

This technical inspection will, according to him, strengthen road safety, reduce risks related to defective vehicles, and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
