The New Congolese Civil Society (NSCC) is pushing for government accountability by urging Prime Minister Judith Suminwa to establish performance contracts with future members of her government. These contracts, lasting 5 to 6 months, will ensure regular evaluation by financial authorities and public disclosure of results, allowing for effective monitoring of government actions and fulfillment of electoral promises.
NSCC’s coordinator, Jonas Tshiombela, emphasizes the crucial role of these performance contracts in measuring progress and addressing any deficiencies in government operations. The organization also recommends reducing public institutions’ extravagant spending, enhancing anti-corruption measures, and promoting economic diversification and civil service professionalism to restore citizen trust in leadership.
By fostering sincere partnerships, equipping defense and security forces, and engaging in diplomatic efforts, the government can enhance its legitimacy and ensure citizen security and prosperity. Through ongoing consultations with political parties, civil society, and socio-professional organizations, Judith Suminwa aims to form a transparent and effective government aligned with the Congolese population’s expectations.
The NSCC’s innovative approach sets the stage for transparent and accountable governance, prioritizing tangible results through performance contracts and rigorous monitoring mechanisms. By implementing these measures, the government can address citizens’ needs effectively and enhance public confidence in leadership.
