The National Assembly has approved, by an absolute majority of votes, the program of the Coalition Government FCC – CACH. Of the 379 national deputies voting, 375 voted in favor, none voted against and four abstained. As a result, the Prime Minister and his 65 ministers have been cleared of parliamentary authority.

The Deputy Rapporteur read the motion for approval of the Government’s program and invested the Government in accordance with the relevant legal and regulatory provisions. This before the signing and delivery of this act to the head of the Government.

This solemn ceremony took place after the debates surrounding this Program were closed following the answers given by Prime Minister Ilunga Ilunkamba Sylvestre to the concerns of the elected representatives of the people.

It should be noted that the coalition government’s program is structured around 15 pillars grouped into four sectors. Objective: to ensure national recovery from the bottom up.

« The realization of these pillars will require the implementation of a number of actions at the political, security and defense, economic and financial, reconstruction, and socio-cultural. Some of these actions are immediate requirements, and others are part of the need to structurally transform our society and our economy, « said Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba.

If this plenary session was boycotted by the elected representatives of the opposition, elected representatives of the FCC – CACH Coalition who have invested this Government undertake to ensure a rigorous control in its implementation for the interest of the Congolese people.

The first debate on the numbers will undoubtedly take place next month during the review of Budget 2020 in order to equip the National Executive with the means of its policy.

Thus, the main subject of the extraordinary session of the National Assembly being exhausted, Jeanine Mabunda declared it closed.

This investiture of the Government comes to consecrate the completion of the establishment of political institutions of the National Executive from the elections of December 2018.
