Title: The Provincial Assembly of Kinshasa begins its work with the establishment of a provisional office
Introduction: The Congolese political scene is marked by the opening of the inaugural plenary at the Provincial Assembly of Kinshasa. Under the leadership of Godé Mpoyi, the newly elected officials met on Monday February 5, 2024 to install the provisional office. This step is crucial for the proper functioning of the institution, because it will notably allow the validation of the mandates of deputies and the development of new internal regulations.
The temporary office: A first step towards organization
The provisional office, made up of the oldest elected official and two younger members, has the mission of tackling several tasks in order to ensure the smooth running of parliamentary work. First of all, he will be responsible for validating the mandates of the newly elected deputies, an essential step to establish the legitimacy of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly. Then, he will be responsible for working on the development of new internal regulations, which will serve as a framework governing the functioning of the institution.
The question of the election of the final office: A delicate issue
In addition to these first missions, the provisional office will also be responsible for counting customary leaders, an important step to involve the various stakeholders in Congolese society in parliamentary life. Finally, one of the most crucial tasks will be the election of the final office of the Provincial Assembly of Kinshasa. This body, composed of the president, vice-presidents and various members, will have the role of directing and representing the institution.
Conclusion: The establishment of the provisional office marks the start of the work of the Kinshasa Provincial Assembly. This step is essential to ensure the proper functioning of the institution and allow the validation of the mandates of the deputies, the development of new internal regulations and the election of the final office. These next steps will be decisive for the consolidation of democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo and for meeting the expectations of the Congolese population.
