Suspension of Jacky NDALA, national youth coordinator of Moïse Katumbi’s party, for his comments and behavior deemed disloyal and harmful to the image of the party.
In a surprising decision which was made public on September 29, 2023, the “Together for the Republic” party announced the suspension of Jacky NDALA, national youth coordinator. This decision follows an interview given by NDALA to Perfect Television, during which he expressed his indignation at the party’s internal practices.
In this interview, Jacky NDALA strongly criticized the actions of the secretary general and his team, notably accusing the party of favoring certain candidates over others. He also spoke of disciplinary problems within the party and affirmed his desire to fight, both physically, morally and spiritually, to make his voice heard.
These comments were seen as an attack on the honor of the party and the image of the organization. Consequently, Moïse Katumbi instructed the Secretary General, Dieudonné Bolengetenge, to suspend Jacky NDALA from his functions as National Youth Coordinator and from any mission on behalf of Ensemble pour la République.
The suspension of Jacky NDALA is accompanied by the establishment of an ad hoc Commission, under the authority of the Director of the party’s Legal Service, responsible for examining in depth the comments and behavior of NDALA. The conclusions of this commission must be rendered within 72 hours in order to determine a fair and equitable solution.
This suspension decision echoes other measures taken recently by the “Together for the Republic” party to maintain discipline and unity within its ranks. Indeed, the party has recently suffered internal tensions and dissensions, jeopardizing its image and cohesion.
It is therefore clear that the party wishes to act firmly to maintain order and discipline within its members. This suspension of Jacky NDALA is a clear message sent to all members of the party, recalling the importance of cohesion and respect for internal rules.
In conclusion, the suspension of Jacky NDALA, national youth coordinator of Moïse Katumbi’s party, marks an important step in the efforts of the “Together for the Republic” party to restore order and discipline. It remains to be seen what the conclusions of the ad hoc Commission will be and what actions will subsequently be taken to resolve this delicate situation.
