Title: Fatshimetrie: the underside of Judith Suminwa’s new government revealed
In the corridors of power, the suspense ended with the long-awaited publication of the composition of the government of Prime Minister Judith Suminwa. At first light on Wednesday May 29, 2024, 54 members were revealed, including a balanced distribution between deputy prime ministers, ministers of state and ministers-delegates.
Among the figures who retain their positions, we find Jean-Pierre Lihau, Eve Bazaiba, Augustin Kibasa and Patrick Muyaya, whose continuity represents a guarantee of stability in this new team. Promoting them to new strategic positions also brings a breath of fresh air and dynamism to the government.
The game of musical chairs has also affected certain personalities, like Jean-Pierre Bembe who moves from the Ministry of National Defense to that of Transport and Communications. This change in portfolio underlines the desire to diversify skills within the government and optimize synergies between the different sectors.
Newcomers like Jacquemin Shabani, Guy Kabongo Mwadiamvita, Daniel Samba Mokoko and Guylain Nyembo bring new life and complementary expertise to this government team. Their appointment suggests a desire to modernize public action, respond to current issues and work for the well-being of citizens.
This new political era, marked by the victory of Félix Tshisekedi in the general elections of December 2023, gives reinforced legitimacy to this government. The President’s inauguration in January 2024 paved the way for a series of strategic appointments, culminating in the establishment of this ambitious and diverse government team.
The challenge that now awaits the government of Judith Suminwa is to deliver on campaign promises, meet citizens’ expectations and address the economic, social and environmental challenges that stand in the way of the Democratic Republic of Congo. By relying on the complementarity of skills, team cohesion and a shared vision, this new government is called upon to breathe a wind of renewal and chart the path to progress for the country.
In short, the publication of the composition of Judith Suminwa’s government marks the beginning of a new stage in Congolese political life. Supported by reinforced legitimacy and a dynamic team, this governance promises to be a major turning point for the country, with the ultimate objective of building a better future for all Congolese.
