The official launch of the first Council of Ministers of the Judith Suminwa government in the Democratic Republic of Congo marked a crucial step in the country’s new political era. Chaired by the dynamic President Félix Tshisekedi, this meeting took on particular importance, signifying the beginning of a promising collaboration between the National Executive and its members.
In his keynote speech, President Tshisekedi stressed the importance of the commitment of each member of government to the well-being and progress of the country. He called for transcending political divisions and individual affiliations for the benefit of the general interest, emphasizing the need for everyone to devote themselves body and soul to their mission in the service of the Republic. This strong message resonates as a reminder of the imperative for concrete results and dedication to the service of the nation.
One of the main challenges mentioned during this meeting is the crucial issue of security, particularly in the east of the country. The President urged ministers to position themselves as defenders of this cause during their international interactions, emphasizing the urgency of restoring peace and stability to this conflict-wounded region.
The Suminwa government is part of an ambitious program, structured around the six commitments presented by President Tshisekedi during his inauguration. Job creation, protection of purchasing power, citizen security, diversification of the economy, access to basic social services and the efficiency of public services are all pillars on which the plan is based of actions over the next five years.
In financial terms, the estimated cost of this program reflects the scale of the challenges to be met, with a total amount approaching 277.066 billion FC, representing approximately 92.9 billion dollars over the period 2024-2028. These colossal figures underline the need for rigorous management and effective mobilization of resources to carry out the government’s ambitious projects.
In conclusion, the Council of Ministers of the Judith Suminwa government marks the beginning of a new phase of governance in the DRC, marked by the commitment, determination and vision of a leadership resolutely focused on progress and the development of the nation. Beyond the speeches and promises, the concrete implementation of these commitments constitutes the real challenge in meeting the legitimate aspirations of a people awaiting progress and political stability.
