These elections and installations of the facilitators of the offices of the Senate’s standing committees demonstrate the willingness of the people’s representatives to fully engage in their legislative missions.
It is essential to emphasize the importance of parliamentary work in consolidating the rule of law and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Senate, as the upper house of Parliament, plays an essential role in the legislative process and in monitoring government action.
Finally, these elections and installations of the facilitators of the offices of the Senate’s standing committees are part of a dynamic of transparency, democracy and accountability of political actors. It is essential for the proper functioning of democracy that institutions are regularly renewed and that the various permanent commissions are effectively operational to carry out their missions in the service of the Congolese nation.
