Introduction :
The province of Tanganyika, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been plunged into an institutional crisis since the closure of its provincial assembly by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Interior. This decision, taken to prevent disturbances to public order, raises serious concerns among civil society activists. As the September parliamentary session approaches, many questions remain regarding the resolution of this crisis and its consequences on the control of the provincial executive.
A worrying situation:
Since the decision was taken to close the Tanganyika provincial assembly last May, the steps taken by the caucus of national deputies from the region to find a solution to this crisis have remained unanswered. Despite the establishment of a fact-finding mission by the Senate in July, civil society activists are waiting on the evolution of the situation.
The challenges of the September parliamentary session:
The September parliamentary session is of capital importance, particularly on the budgetary level. However, with the closure of the provincial assembly, some activists fear that the provincial executive can no longer be adequately controlled, which could have adverse consequences on the management of public finances and the execution of public policies.
Resolution efforts still without result:
Despite the efforts made by national deputies and the Senate fact-finding mission, the institutional crisis persists in the province of Tanganyika. Civil society activists are calling for a rapid resolution of this situation in order to restore the democratic functioning of the provincial assembly and allow adequate control of the regional executive.
Conclusion :
The closure of the Tanganyika provincial assembly has plunged the region into a worrying institutional crisis. As the September parliamentary session approaches, civil society activists are concerned about the consequences on the control of the provincial executive, particularly on the budgetary level. It is essential that solutions be found quickly in order to restore the democratic functioning of the provincial assembly and guarantee transparent and responsible management of public affairs in the province of Tanganyika.
