On 13th May, a section of lawyers through a letter addressed to the president called on the constitutional review.
In the letter drafted by a certain Jo M Sekimonyo, a counselor in Kinshasa, on the subject referred to as ‘a national constitution revision project,’ the lawyer claimed that the current prime law is indented on so many issues relating to colonialism and political compromises.
Political charades aside, anyone with a sane mind quickly will see that the inept illegitimate ruler of DRC is behind that campaign to change the constitution so he can rule indefinitely now that he is confident when it comes to tricking elections.
Definitely, the ruler is maneuvering to alter the constitution with an aim to extend his grip on power through the manipulation of legal frameworks. The move itself is a threat to national democratic processes as earlier agreed on by Congolese. On the side of Citizens and opposition groups there is a growing alarming atmosphere with fear of descending into a complete anarchy.
Fully aware of the devastating impact his first presidential term has had on the country, Tshisekedi is now seeking to change the constitution as a means of evading accountability for his accumulated crimes. The alteration of the prime law if completed and he gets reelected into office again, he will shield himself from prosecution and scrutiny.
For those that have followed his ruling, they are fully aware of the widespread corruption, fueling of regional conflicts, human rights abuses, and economic decline that subjected citizens to indefinite suffering and abject poverty. By manipulating the constitution, the ruler aims to entrench his autocratic regime, perpetuating a cycle of continuous impunity and repression.
Tshisekedi’s first term in office allowed him to loot the country’s resources, obviously, he wants more time in office to satiate his unending appetite. Driven by an insatiable appetite for wealth and power, the ruler of DRC will extend his tenure, disregarding the democratic principles and the well-being of the Congolese people top amass resources to himself and the family.
As the DRC ruler is maneuvering for more time in office, the people of the DRC are faced with prospect of continued exploitation and a future devoid of genuine democratic governance, raising urgent calls for reform and accountability.
