Title: Justice reform in the DRC: The attorney general calls for impartial distribution
Introduction :
Justice reform is at the heart of concerns in the Democratic Republic of Congo. During a working meeting in Kinshasa, the Attorney General at the Court of Cassation, Firmin Mvonde Mambu, reminded the provincial attorneys general of the importance of the impartial distribution of justice. This directive follows the desire of the President of the Republic to restore the rule of law in the country. This article highlights the challenges of this reform and the expectations of the Head of State.
The major concern of the Head of State: the rule of law
Attorney General Firmin Mvonde Mambu stressed that the major concern of the President of the Republic in his first five-year term is to re-establish the rule of law. According to him, magistrates play an essential role in establishing this rule of law. This awareness led the prosecutor to transmit clear instructions to provincial prosecutors in order to meet the president’s expectations.
A trust granted with responsibility
Firmin Mvonde reminded provincial prosecutors that they benefited from the trust of the Head of State. However, this carries significant responsibility. The prosecutor warns against any complacency and announces sanctions for those who do not deserve this trust. He insists on the need for a new impetus in the distribution of justice, in order to respond to the president’s concerns.
Fair justice for all citizens
The prosecutor at the Court of Appeal of Ituri province, Eudoxie Masuama, emphasizes the importance of equitable distribution of justice not only in Kinshasa, but throughout the country. According to her, all means of justice must be applied so that the population can fully benefit from them. This desire for fair justice is a major challenge for justice reform in the DRC.
Conclusion :
Justice reform in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a priority for the President of the Republic. The Attorney General, Firmin Mvonde Mambu, has transmitted instructions to provincial prosecutors aimed at ensuring impartial distribution of justice. This directive reflects the desire to restore the rule of law in the country and guarantee fair justice for all citizens. The responsibility of magistrates is therefore essential to achieve this objective. This justice reform is an important step towards a more efficient and transparent judicial system in the DRC.
