Title: DRC Deputy Prime Minister Bans Plenaries of Tanganyika Provincial Assembly
The Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Interior and Security, Peter Kazadi, took the decision to prohibit the organization of plenary meetings in the Provincial Assembly of Tanganyika. In a telegram made public this Friday, May 12, 2023, he specified that this measure is temporary and aims to avoid any slippage likely to cause unrest and threaten social peace and tranquility in this region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Faced with the crisis situation observed at the Tanganyika Provincial Assembly, I have decided to suspend the holding of any plenary session until further notice,” the telegram reads. Peter Kazadi also invited the office of the Provincial Assembly of Tanganyika to Kinshasa for consultation.
This decision could have a significant impact on decision-making in this province. Although temporary, it could compromise the functioning of the Provincial Assembly, which is the place where provincial laws are voted on and promulgated.
The substance of this case remains vague, but clarifications may be of interest to our readers. We therefore hope that this meeting will be productive for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
