The national deputy, Claudel Lubaya, reacted strongly to the 7-year prison sentence of his colleague, Jean-Marc Kabund-A-Kabund, by the Court of Cassation for spreading false rumors, insulting established bodies and damaging imputations. According to Lubaya, this conviction is the result of politico-judicial relentlessness against Kabund on the part of his former companions within the Sacred Union of the Nation.
Lubaya describes this sentence as unfair and disproportionate, which testifies to the abuse of the dominant position of the string pullers within the country’s institutions. It questions the functioning of democracy and the use of the judiciary to settle political scores.
“There is a fine line between settling scores and solving problems,” says Lubaya. He thus calls for a deep reflection by all political actors and society on the direction taken by the country and on the use of the judicial institution for political ends.
This conviction raises questions about the independence of justice in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It also fuels doubts about the objectivity and impartiality of judicial decisions, which can ultimately undermine people’s confidence in the judicial system.
It is important to remember that Jean-Marc Kabund-A-Kabund is a national deputy and a leading political figure. His conviction raises debates and questions about freedom of expression and respect for the political rights of political figures in the DRC.
It is crucial that these issues are thoroughly examined and action taken to preserve fundamental rights and democracy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The foundations of a democratic society are based on respect for individual freedoms and fair justice for all.
In conclusion, the case of the conviction of Jean-Marc Kabund-A-Kabund highlights the issues linked to the independence of justice and the protection of political rights in the DRC. It is crucial that political actors and civil society remain vigilant and committed to preserving democracy and the rule of law in the country.
