Article: The importance of inter-institutional meetings for political decision-making in the DRC
In a complex and constantly changing political context, it is essential that the country’s leaders meet regularly to discuss the essential issues of national life. It is in this perspective that the President of the Republic Félix Antoine Tshisekedi tshilombo recently brought together the heads of Congolese institutions at the city of the African Union.
The inter-institutional meeting was an opportunity for the Head of State to share the country’s current concerns with his interlocutors. Among the topics discussed was the question of the security situation, against the backdrop of the state of siege recently declared in certain regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo. A week after the evaluation round table was held, President Tshisekedi wanted to gather the opinions of the heads of institutions for the next steps to be taken.
Apart from security, the meeting also discussed the ongoing electoral process. The president insisted on the importance of remaining mobilized to meet the expectations of the population, both in the east of the country and throughout the territory, in terms of security and electoral transparency. This willingness to consult and listen to the various institutions demonstrates President Tshisekedi’s desire to adopt a collaborative and participatory approach in the management of state affairs.
This inter-institutional meeting is therefore of great importance in the political decision-making process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. By bringing together the heads of institutions, President Tshisekedi seeks to take everyone’s opinions into account, assess the different perspectives and develop concerted and effective measures to respond to the country’s challenges.
It should be noted that this interinstitutional meeting could be followed by an official communication from the President of the Republic in the coming days. This communication will make it possible to clarify the orientations taken following the discussions and to announce the decisions taken to guarantee the security and the smooth running of the electoral process in progress.
In conclusion, inter-institutional meetings play a crucial role in political decision-making in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They promote the exchange of ideas, consultation and the search for common solutions to the country’s challenges. By adopting a consultative approach, President Tshisekedi is showing his willingness to govern inclusively and to take into account the different perspectives to lead the country towards a better future
