Title: Establishment of a Godé Mpoyi Management Control Commission at the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly
Introduction :
In a statement made this Thursday, July 27, 2023, provincial deputies of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly announced the establishment of a Commission responsible for controlling the management of Godé Mpoyi, current president of the deliberative body. Describing the latter’s actions as maneuvers, the provincial deputies denounced his attempts to relocate the office of the Provincial Assembly to his home. This decision comes after the recent rehabilitation of Godé Mpoyi by the Kinshasa/Gombe Court of Appeal, following his dismissal from office on July 8, 2023.
Development :
The provincial deputies of Kinshasa express their disagreement and their disavowal towards Godé Mpoyi. They denounce his actions and consider his attempts to relocate the office of the Provincial Assembly as a provocation against the institution and Kinshasa public opinion.
In a letter addressed to the vice-president of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly, Godé Mpoyi asks for the end of the interim of Francis Tshibalabala and asks him to send him all the files in his personal residence. This action is seen by provincial deputies as arrogance and an attack on the institution.
Faced with this persistent situation, the provincial deputies took the resolution to set up a Commission responsible for controlling the management of Godé Mpoyi. They consider that this should put an end to this situation which has persisted for too long. The declaration of the provincial deputies also mentions the existence of several proofs concerning grievances and actions initiated against Godé Mpoyi.
Conclusion :
The establishment of this Control Commission marks a clear desire of the provincial deputies of Kinshasa to take concrete measures to deal with the actions of Godé Mpoyi at the head of the Provincial Assembly. This decision demonstrates their commitment to maintaining integrity and transparency within the institution. It remains to be seen what concrete actions the Commission will undertake and the consequences this will have on the management of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly
