This morning, Fatshimetrie released a strong and committed statement by Senator Alphonse Ngoyi Kasanji, who strongly opposes a possible constitutional revision in the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to him, such a project would risk distracting from the population’s essential priorities and would constitute a costly and unnecessary diversion.
Using concrete examples, the senator highlights the disparities in development between the DRC and other countries. He emphasizes that despite shorter presidential terms in some countries such as the United States, economic and social progress is much more significant. He also cites the example of countries such as Tanzania and Senegal, which have modern means of transport such as TGVs, while the DRC is struggling to inaugurate basic infrastructure such as highways.
In a tweet, Alphonse Ngoyi Kasanji urges President Tshisekedi to focus his actions on tangible achievements that will have a positive impact on the population, rather than embarking on a process of constitutional revision that could be dangerous for the stability of the country. He also recalls the commitments made by the president at the beginning of his term regarding respect for constitutional limitations and the construction of a true rule of law.
This courageous position by the senator underlines the importance of long-term vision and political responsibility in the governance of a country. By warning against the risks of power drift and calling for enlightened governance that respects institutions, Alphonse Ngoyi Kasanji embodies the requirement for integrity and dedication to the general interest.
In these uncertain times, when political issues are mixed with the legitimate aspirations of the Congolese people, the senator’s words resonate as a call for vigilance and collective responsibility. They invite everyone to question the nature of power and the choices that will determine the future of the DRC.
