Médard Autsai Asenga

Médard Autsai Asenga (2 January 1942 – 22 November 2024[1]) was a Congolese politician who was governor of the former Orientale Province, and later a National Representative.

[2] On 30 April 2010, Asenga was made Grand Commander of the National Order of the Leopard, the highest civilian decoration in the country.

[3] In October 2010 Autsai was present at a ceremony where a large delivery of election equipment arrived by boat in Kisangani.

It had been shipped from Kinshasa by the United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the DR Congo (MONUSCO).

In May 2012 a group of provincial deputies representing the four districts of Orientale Province demanded that the Independent National Electoral Commission (Ceni) organize an election to replace the interim governor Ismaël Arama Ndiama who had replaced him, since an interim governor could not effectively deal with major issues faced by the province.
