Fatshimetrie [/Reference], the leading news media, recently highlighted a major political fact within the National Assembly. Indeed, a wind of protest is blowing among 58 deputies who signed a motion of no confidence against the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Alexis Gisaro. A look back at the twists and turns of this parliamentary affair that is shaking up the country’s political scene.
During an exclusive interview with Fatshimetrie, MP Gary Sakata revealed a crucial aspect of the National Assembly’s internal regulations: any MP who signed the motion of no confidence can no longer withdraw his or her signature. This revelation created a shockwave among the parliamentarians involved, some seeking to disengage from their initial commitment.
While the motion of no confidence should have been examined in plenary session, its inclusion on the agenda remains pending, plunging the assembly into expectation. However, a new situation has emerged with the withdrawal of signatures by deputies from the main political parties, MLC and AFDC-A, following instructions from their respective leaders. This about-face has raised questions about the cohesion within these political parties.
If the number of signatories falls below 50 deputies, the motion risks being rejected by the bureau of the National Assembly, according to the provisions of the internal regulations in force. This situation places the signatory parliamentarians in a dilemma: respect their initial commitment or comply with the instructions of their political parties. A palpable tension now reigns within the hemicycle.
This affair reveals the complexities of political relations within the National Assembly, highlighting the issues of partisan loyalty and political independence. The twists and turns of this motion of no confidence highlight the tensions and power games that animate the Congolese political scene. Fatshimetrie will continue to closely follow this parliamentary news to inform its readers about the development of this delicate political situation.
