The recent meeting between the Prime Minister and the President of the Senate, concerning the priority areas of the 2025 budget project, sparked strong reactions within the Kinshasa political sphere. This meeting, which took place in the presence of key figures such as the Head of Government Judith Suminwa, the Minister of State for the Budget Aimé Boji and the Minister of Finance Doudou Fwanba, was widely dissected by the local media.
According to information relayed by “Fatshimetrie”, the Prime Minister expressed her commitment to regular consultation with the two chambers of Parliament, thus illustrating her desire for transparency and close collaboration in the management of public affairs. This approach demonstrates a democracy in action, where dialogue between the executive and the legislature is of capital importance for the smooth running of democratic institutions.
The importance of the discussions around the priority areas of the 2025 Finance Act and the commitments of the Head of State reveals a common desire to respond to current economic and social challenges. Fiscal policy is an essential lever for implementing the reforms necessary for economic stability and improving citizens’ living conditions. In a national context marked by crucial issues, such as stabilizing the exchange rate and improving purchasing power, collaboration between the government and Parliament is of major importance.
Furthermore, the draft laws tabled by the Prime Minister, in particular the draft finance law for the 2025 financial year and the draft law on the accountability of the 2024 financial year, underline the government’s commitment to accountability and to ensuring transparent management of public resources. These initiatives demonstrate a desire for good governance and shared responsibility between the different branches of power.
At the same time, the Ministry of the Interior, Security and Customary Affairs recently equipped some police sub-stations with new real estate infrastructure, thus demonstrating a desire to strengthen the authority of the State and ensure the security of citizens. This initiative, led by Jacquemain Shabani, illustrates a concrete commitment to improving the working conditions of law enforcement and their proximity to the population.
In conclusion, the meeting between the Prime Minister and the President of the Senate, as well as the actions and projects underway, reflect a dynamic of cooperation and responsibility within Congolese institutions. These initiatives mark an important step in consolidating the rule of law and implementing essential reforms for the development and well-being of the population.
