The political landscape of the Democratic Republic of Congo is marked by hot news, particularly within the National Assembly where tensions and blockages persist. The Kinshasa press review of Wednesday May 8, 2024 highlights the delay in installing the final office, adding an additional dose of suspense and tension to an already complex situation.
The article published in “Fatshimetrie” highlights the issues surrounding the standoff between the different political actors. The president of the age office, Christophe Mboso, is singled out for his strategy of obstruction which delays the constitution of the final office of the National Assembly. This blockage arouses indignation and impatience among the Congolese, who are feverishly awaiting the establishment of the institutions resulting from the elections.
The Tropical Storm highlights the postponement of the election of the final office, a decision seen as a delaying tactic aimed at prolonging the reign of the provisional office. The deputies, exasperated by this situation, are beginning to express their dissatisfaction with this institutional lethargy which has been hampering the functioning of the State for months. The impeachment initiative launched by MP Didier Kamundu Batundi puts a little more pressure on Christophe Mboso, forcing him to act or face consequences.
In this tense context, each twist and turn is closely scrutinized. Le Quotidien provides elements of justification for the postponement of the election of the final office, in particular the need to wait for the return of the deputies who are candidates for senators and provincial governors to ensure massive and representative participation. Is this explanation enough to calm agitated minds and revive the broken democratic process?
At the same time, Congo Nouveau evokes the obstacles which hinder the formation of Judith Suminya’s government, highlighting internal dissensions within the presidential party. The incessant tensions, coupled with differences of opinion, appear to further complicate the country’s already precarious situation.
Finally, the Forum des As warns of a new variant of the monkeypox virus discovered in eastern DRC, emphasizing the need for rapid action to stem its spread. This health threat comes on top of the political and institutional torments which are plunging the country into growing uncertainty.
The future of the Democratic Republic of Congo is in limbo, between political, health and social issues. The entire population is holding its breath, waiting for better days and a saving institutional renewal.
