The discussion around the size of government remains a central topic in political discourse, especially in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where Prime Minister Judith TULUKA SUMINWA is currently in the process of forming her government. The decisions she makes will significantly impact the country’s administration and the well-being of its citizens.
The debate between a streamlined government and an overly bloated one raises a key question: what is the most effective approach to ensure good governance and address the needs of the Congolese people? It is evident that the size of the government directly influences its efficiency in action.
Drawing a comparison with the Chinese government, which consists of 36 ministers overseeing a vast population, underscores the necessity of having a functional and effective government structure. Each minister should be selected meticulously based on their competence and capacity to cater to the populace’s requirements. The focus should not be on the number of ministers, but on the quality and relevance of their contributions.
It is crucial for the Congolese government to comprise ministers of integrity, competence, and unwavering dedication to serving the nation. The primary aim should be to devise tangible solutions to the challenges faced by Congolese society. It is essential to break away from the corruption, inefficiency, and clientelism that have plagued the governance of the country.
The aspirations of the Congolese people are substantial. They yearn for a profound shift in the handling of public affairs – a shift towards transparent and responsible governance. Outdated practices are no longer viable. It is time for innovation, creativity, and the implementation of policies that prioritize the common good and the welfare of all citizens.
The responsibility rests upon Prime Minister Judith TULUKA SUMINWA to establish a proficient government that aligns with the populace’s expectations. Every decision should be guided by the nation’s best interests and a commitment to serve with honesty and dedication. Governance in the DRC must no longer be entrusted to self-serving and inept individuals.
Ultimately, “Fatshimetry” should evolve into a genuine science – that of governing with efficiency, integrity, and a long-term vision. The Congolese people deserve a government that resonates with their aspirations, a government that will combat impunity, improve management, and eradicate corruption. By selecting our representatives wisely, we can collaboratively build a brighter future for our country.
