The meeting of the Sacred Union of the Nation under the presidency of Augustin Kabuya with various political leaders marked an important step in the Congolese political landscape. Indeed, after the publication of the Suminwa government, voices were raised to express concerns about the regional and political representativeness within this new government team.
This consultation meeting was an opportunity for Augustin Kabuya, coordinator of the parliamentary majority, to reaffirm the Presidium’s commitment to unity and national cohesion. The exchanges between the members were marked by a desire for dialogue and the search for solutions to meet the expectations and aspirations of all the country’s citizens.
National deputies from Maniema province have expressed their disappointment at the absence of representatives from their region in government. This situation has raised questions about respect for national diversity and the implementation of constitutional principles relating to the representativeness of the different provinces in political institutions.
The speeches of certain national elected officials, such as MP Eliezer Ntambwe, highlighted the issue of taking into account political groupings within the government. The call for consideration of minority political forces and for better political representation was widely shared during this meeting.
It is undeniable that the composition of the Suminwa government, with its 54 members including 30 new figures, reflects the political balances present within the sacred union of the nation. However, it is essential that each province and each political family feel represented and listened to within the country’s governing bodies.
In the days to come, the Suminwa government will have to present its action program to the National Assembly for approval. This step will be crucial to demonstrate the capacity of this team to respond to the socio-economic and political challenges facing the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In conclusion, the consultation meeting of the Sacred Union of the Nation made it possible to constructively address questions of representativeness and balance within the government. The commitment of political leaders to work for the general interest and to promote national cohesion is a positive signal for the political future of the country.
