DR Congo: Tshisekedi threatens to “fire” ministers

This warning – a kind of constitutional atomic bomb – directly targets ministers from the Common Front for the Congo (FCC, pro-Kabila).

Thehe Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi has threatened to “fire” ministers or even dissolve the National Assembly if his coalition partners loyal to his predecessor Joseph Kabila undermined his power in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

“The Congolese have entrusted me with a mission and I must account to these people. And the one who will not follow my instructions and who will stick to the instructions of his political family, he will be fired, “said the head of state Sunday to the Congolese diaspora in London, in words quoted by the press on Monday Kinshasa.

This warning – a kind of constitutional atomic bomb – directly targets the ministers from the Common Front for the Congo (FCC, pro-Kabila), the majority of the 67 members of the government.

“So far, I have not seen any ministers oppose my decisions. But some ministers tell me that they are under pressure, “he added in a lingala speech available on Top Congo radio’s Twitter account.

“I cannot dissolve the National Assembly until there is a crisis,” he added. But in the event of “obstruction”, “I will be forced, ultimately, to take the decision to dissolve the National Assembly”.
