The debate around the constitutional revision is a subject that always gives rise to lively discussions within Congolese society. The recent remarks of the President of the Economic and Social Council (CES), Jean-Pierre Kiwakana, highlight the importance of addressing this issue in an open and constructive manner, in the best interests of the nation.
Indeed, blocking any possibility of examining the constitutional revision is seen by some as a mistake before history, because realities evolve and laws must adapt accordingly. It is essential to recognize that constitutional texts must guarantee individual freedoms, the protection of citizens and national cohesion.
According to Jean-Pierre Kiwakana, several subjects are worthy of being debated within the framework of a constitutional revision, such as the territorial question, the inviolability of borders and the specificity of the single nationality of origin. These themes raise profound issues for the stability and unity of the country, and deserve in-depth reflection.
The President of the CES calls for a calm and constructive debate, based on reason and moderation. He insists on the need to adopt a scientific approach in discussions on the revision of the Constitution, in order to avoid threats and tensions that could harm democracy and social peace.
In conclusion, it is essential that political actors, civil society and all citizens engage in a frank and peaceful dialogue on the constitutional revision. This process must be marked by transparency, consultation and mutual respect, with the aim of strengthening the country’s democratic foundations and ensuring a stable and prosperous future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
