In the Congolese political world, the development of the internal regulations of the National Assembly occupies a central place in this new legislature. The plenary convened for this occasion on February 19 demonstrates the importance of defining the standards that will govern deputies in the exercise of their parliamentary functions.
This approach takes place in a context marked by political and institutional upheavals. Indeed, the breakdown of the coalition between the FCC and the CACH led to major transformations within the parliamentary chamber. The need to revisit the internal regulations thus arises from the disappearance of old political divisions and the formation of new alliances within the National Assembly.
During the previous legislature, tensions emerged over the composition of parliamentary groups, particularly with regard to the number of members necessary for their formation. The debates around this issue highlighted the need to adapt the internal regulations to the political realities of the moment, while respecting democratic principles and the transparency of decision-making processes.
The proposal to modify the internal regulations, initiated by a group of deputies led by Jacques Djoli, aimed to guarantee a more flexible and dynamic functioning of the National Assembly. However, resistance was observed due to the hasty nature of the approach and the failure to respect deadlines for consulting elected officials.
This complex situation illustrates the challenges faced by the Congolese political class in its quest for effective and coherent governance. The reform of the internal regulations of the National Assembly then appears to be a crucial step in adapting the institutions to the new dynamics of the country and promoting the harmonious functioning of the legislative process.
In short, the plenary on February 19 marks the start of a process of reflection and debate around the rules which will govern parliamentary activities during this legislature. This initiative demonstrates the desire of deputies to respond to the challenges of the new political configuration and to guarantee a democratic and transparent exercise of their mandate.
