The protest of the provincial deputies of Kinshasa against the politico-ethnic manipulations of Godé Mpoyi is currently the subject of strong indignation within the Provincial Assembly. In a public statement, these deputies denounce the maneuvers aimed at restoring Mpoyi as head of the Assembly, despite his dismissal for serious misconduct and incompetence. According to the elected officials, these political manipulations risk disrupting the institutional order and causing harmful consequences for the stability of the province of Kinshasa.
The dismissal of Mpoyi Kadima Godefroid was voted by an absolute majority following defamatory remarks made in a television program. He accused his colleagues of acts of corruption and hindered the proper functioning of the Assembly, which he was nevertheless responsible for ensuring compliance with. Unable to accept his dismissal, Mpoyi has since multiplied appeals to the Gombe Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court. He is also relying on a group of pastors and influential members of his ethnic community to try to overturn the decision.
The provincial deputies denounce this attempt at manipulation and the pressure exerted on some of them to obtain their support for Mpoyi. They also criticize the behavior of the latter, who claimed to be unable to attend the plenary because of a medical certificate justifying rest leave, but who remains actively engaged in interviews and political activities. This disrespectful attitude towards his fellow MEPs is seen as a blatant provocation.
The provincial elected officials of Kinshasa call for respect for the law and the rejection of these dubious political maneuvers. They warn against the consequences of these actions on the democracy and the unity of the country. They demand an immediate end to this plot to disrupt the institutional order and undermine the stability of the province.
It is essential, according to the deputies, to preserve the principles of democracy and the rule of law advocated by the Head of State. They call on all political actors to act in the interest of the Congolese nation and to put aside personal interests and political calculations. The political and institutional stability of the province of Kinshasa is too precious to be compromised by politico-ethnic manipulations.
In conclusion, the protest of the provincial deputies of Kinshasa against the politico-ethnic manipulations of Godé Mpoyi highlights the important issues related to institutional stability and democratic principles in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is essential that these dubious political maneuvers are exposed and that those responsible are held accountable.. The preservation of institutional order and respect for democratic principles are essential to ensure effective governance and a prosperous future for the province of Kinshasa
