**Fatshimétrie: A crucial step for democracy in the DRC**
The National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Congo is preparing to begin an important process of parliamentary control with the examination of oral questions with debate. This step, initiated by the President of the Assembly, Vital Kamerhe, marks a turning point in the country’s political life by allowing deputies to question members of the government on subjects essential to the nation.
Vital Kamerhe’s announcement of the holding of this debate underlines Parliament’s commitment to exercising rigorous control over the government’s action. Oral questions with debate provide a platform for deputies to express the concerns of the population and hold ministers to account for the management of public affairs.
Among the questions already submitted are various subjects, such as the implementation of development projects, the financing of sports infrastructure, the management of natural resources, and many others. These questions reflect the major challenges facing the country and the desire of MPs to ensure that the general interest is preserved.
The choice to establish a day dedicated to parliamentary control, in this case Wednesday, reflects Vital Kamerhe’s desire to strengthen transparency and accountability within the National Assembly. This initiative, which responds to an electoral promise by the President of the Assembly, contributes to consolidating the foundations of democracy in the DRC.
The establishment of “Fatshimétrie”, as it could be called, constitutes a significant step forward in the functioning of the country’s democratic institutions. By allowing MPs to fully exercise their role of control and representation, this process contributes to strengthening the legitimacy and accountability of government institutions.
Beyond the examination of oral questions with debate, it is essential that this parliamentary control continues regularly and systematically. MPs must be able to exercise their mandate with complete independence and transparency, in order to guarantee democratic and effective governance.
Ultimately, the next stage of the examination of oral questions with debate in the National Assembly of the DRC represents a crucial moment for democracy and good governance in the country. It is a unique opportunity for deputies to play their role as guarantors of the general interest and to actively contribute to the construction of a more just and equitable society for all Congolese citizens.
