In the Congolese political turmoil, a new wave of turmoil has shaken the National Assembly with the announcement of the examination of the motion of no confidence against the Minister of Infrastructure and Public Works (ITPR), Alexis Gisaro. This motion, signed by 58 deputies, is the subject of particular attention and careful analysis by parliamentarians. Initially scheduled for November 25, the examination of this motion had been postponed for logistical reasons, but the file is now on the agenda of the plenary session of December 9.
The President of the National Assembly, Vital Kamerhe, took care to emphasize the importance of respecting constitutional principles, in particular the right of defense and the principle of adversarial proceedings, before examining this motion. This approach illustrates the desire of the Lower House to respect procedures and guarantee fairness in political debates.
At the same time, another hot topic is attracting the attention of the deputies: the unsanitary conditions in Kinshasa. The ad hoc committee set up to study this issue has presented its report to the President of the National Assembly. This committee, created following a motion for information by Augustin Matata Ponyo Mapon, has rigorously analyzed the different aspects of the unsanitary conditions, the anarchic constructions and the traffic jams that are rife in the Congolese capital.
The deputies will have the difficult task of examining and adopting the recommendations of this report, which highlights the causal, aggravating and constraining factors of the unsanitary conditions in Kinshasa. This problem, although local, is of capital importance for the well-being of the city’s inhabitants and raises major issues in terms of public health and quality of life.
In short, this plenary session of the National Assembly promises to be crucial for the political and social life of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Between heated debates and strategic decision-making, the deputies will be keen to defend the interests of their fellow citizens and ensure respect for the democratic values on which the Congolese state is founded.
