From youth activism to the chairmanship of the national oil company's Board of Directors, Jean Thierry Monsenepwo's career is one of steady ascent built on constancy, loyalty and hard work.
President of the CCU Youth League
Jean Thierry Monsenepwo earned his political stripes within the Convention des Congolais Unis (CCU) alongside Lambert Mende Omalanga, then Government spokesman. Leading the party's Youth League, he built his reputation as a formidable communicator and grassroots mobilizer.
Joining the Union sacrée de la Nation
Received at the Presidency of the Republic alongside Lambert Mende, he answered Head of State Félix Tshisekedi's call to build the Union sacrée de la Nation. He would become one of its most emblematic communicators, defending the presidential record across the country's television and radio platforms.
Voice of the Union sacrée
A regular guest on Top Congo FM, Radio Okapi and major Congolese media, he distinguished himself by publishing a series of op-eds — more than twenty-six to date — on peace in the East, constitutional reform, the fight against corruption and the defense of institutions.
Chairman of the Board of COBIL SA
Appointed by decree of Portfolio Minister Adèle Kayinda, on the Head of State's choice, he took over the chairmanship of the Board of the State-owned oil company, expressing his "gratitude to the President of the Republic" and his dedication to making possible "the dream of a Congo more beautiful than before."
Strategic mission to South Africa
He led a seven-day mission to South Africa with the Management Committee: a visit to the DRC embassy in Johannesburg, the launch of the partnership with GIMGRO to modernize service stations in four major Congolese cities, and an agreement with Africa Union Financial Services to produce lubricants adapted to DRC climates.
The historic Dar es Salaam agreement
COBIL SA signed a partnership with Scientia Capital Limited / Africa Oil guaranteeing the monthly delivery of 70,000 metric tons of fuel — 70 million liters — to end shortages and stabilize prices on the Congolese market.
CICM Ambassador
He was appointed volunteer Ambassador of the Innovation and Mindset Change Unit, a presidential initiative fighting anti-values: corruption, impunity and tribalism.
Historic fuel price drop
For the first time since independence, fuel prices recorded a spectacular drop to 2,990 FC per liter, posted by COBIL SA — the fulfillment of President Tshisekedi's commitments, under the supervision of Prime Minister Judith Suminwa.
Best Chairman Award — RIDOPP 2024
The International Meeting of Decision-Makers and Opportunities named him Best Chairman of a Board of Directors for his work at the head of COBIL SA.
Opening of COBIL's Johannesburg office
Inauguration of COBIL SA's first representative office in South Africa — a strategic bridge between the DRC and Southern Africa, in line with Portfolio Minister Jean-Lucien Bussa's vision and the momentum set by the Head of State.
Patriotic legislative initiative
He initiated a bill barring access to certain public offices for individuals who took part in armed rebellions against the Republic — "This cycle must be broken," he declared when submitting the text to National Deputy Lambert Mende.
