This article highlights the failure of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, in his attempt to reform the country’s judicial system. This dependence of justice on political power has disastrous consequences for all sectors of national life, such as governance, the economy, security and human rights. The author stresses the importance of an in-depth reform to guarantee the independence and impartiality of Congolese justice. Only a strong and functional judicial system can allow the development of the country and the development of its population.
