The composition of the Suminwa government, recently presented before its inauguration in the National Assembly, arouses contrasting reactions within the Congolese political class. National MP Christian Mwando, a prominent member of Ensemble pour la République, spoke with a touch of skepticism about the premises of this new government team.
In his remarks, Christian Mwando described the Suminwa government as a “rosary of good intentions”, thus highlighting a certain doubt as to its ability to realize the hopes and expectations of the Congolese people. According to him, this new government entity may not bode anything fundamentally new for the country.
Pointing out the “elephantic” scale of this government, MP Mwando raised questions about respect for geopolitical representation and criticized the apparent non-compliance with the Head of State’s promises in terms of reducing the train of life of the executive.
This reaction from Christian Mwando raises legitimate questions about the composition and orientations of the Suminwa government. Indeed, in a political context where the aspiration for renewal and more transparent governance is strong, it is essential that elected political leaders are up to the challenges that present themselves to them.
It is therefore essential that the Suminwa government justifies the hopes placed in it with concrete actions and ambitious public policies. The expectations of the Congolese population are high and it is imperative that the executive responds effectively and coherently to the economic, social and political challenges facing the country.
In conclusion, the reluctance expressed by political figures such as Christian Mwando highlights the need for responsible, transparent and effective governance to respond to the current challenges of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is now up to the Suminwa government to prove itself and demonstrate its ability to bring real positive change for the Congolese people.
