The submission of Judith Suminwa’s government program to the National Assembly on June 8, 2024 represents a crucial step for the future of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This meeting between the Prime Minister and Vital Kamerhe, President of the National Assembly, highlighted the government’s ambitions and priorities for the next five years.
The program presented by Judith Suminwa aims to consolidate the successes of Felix-Antoine Tshisekedi’s first mandate with a view to transforming the country into a more united, secure, prosperous and emerging Congo. It emphasizes economic, social and political development, while emphasizing the need to overcome the major challenges and structural constraints that hamper the DRC’s growth.
One of the key priorities of this program is job creation, a crucial issue in combating unemployment and promoting the country’s economic development. At the same time, the protection of household purchasing power and the stabilization of the exchange rate appear to be essential objectives to guarantee the well-being of citizens.
The question of the security of populations and their property is also at the heart of the government’s concerns. The consolidation of security mechanisms and the establishment of effective policies to ensure the protection of citizens against internal and external threats are strategic priorities to promote stability and confidence among the population.
Furthermore, economic diversification is a fundamental pillar of the government program, aimed at strengthening the country’s competitiveness and reducing its dependence on certain resources. This diversification aims to promote economic growth, stimulate innovation and encourage investment in promising and sustainable sectors.
Access to basic social services and strengthening the efficiency of public services are also major axes of the government program. Improving infrastructure, education, health and administrative services will ensure the well-being of citizens and optimize public management for greater efficiency and transparency.
In short, Judith Suminwa’s government program reflects an ambitious vision for the future of the DRC, structured around the construction of a strong, secure and prosperous state. This commitment to development and the well-being of citizens embodies a strong political will to meet current challenges and work for a better future for all Congolese.
