Press review of April 17, 2024: The challenges of forming the future government in the Democratic Republic of Congo
On April 17, all eyes are on the political backstage of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where negotiations are taking place for the establishment of the future government. Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka is at the center of attention, receiving various political figures for crucial discussions with the aim of forming a strong and competent government team.
One key point of these discussions is the question of the competence and experience of future ministers. Pius Muabilu, current Minister of Urban Planning and Housing, emphasized the importance of these criteria during his discussions with the Prime Minister. This emphasis on professionalism is essential for realizing Félix Tshisekedi’s vision and ensuring good governance in the country.
Different political platforms such as the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) and Sama Lukonde’s Dynamic Action and Building (DAB) are positioning themselves to secure ministerial positions in the future government. As the Prime Minister envisions a streamlined government team with a maximum of 45 members, she aims to exclude political party leaders and “moral authorities” from political groups.
This move to rationalize the government’s size has sparked debates and questions within the Congolese political landscape. Some view it as a necessary step to break away from individual power struggles and focus on tackling the real issues facing the country. Amidst ongoing political discussions, the Congolese population continues to endure the tragedies of war in the East and daily hardships.
It is crucial for the political class to demonstrate seriousness and responsibility during these pivotal moments. The time has come to establish a competent and transparent government team that prioritizes the well-being of the population. As pointed out by the Congolese Press Agency, if personal interests continue to overshadow the common good, disillusionment will be the imminent outcome.
Ultimately, the formation of the future government in the Democratic Republic of Congo holds significant implications for the country’s future. It is vital for the decisions made now to focus on establishing accountable governance capable of addressing the myriad challenges facing the Congolese nation.
