Recently released after being arrested during the demonstrations on December 19 and 20, Constant Mutamba maintains his marks. For the president of the New Generation for the Emergence of Congo -NOGEC-, Joseph Kabila is the author of the crisis that rages in the country. Therefore, notwithstanding the dialogue of the Interdiocesan Center, it should leave power to allow the Congolese people to live, for the first time, an alternation without controversy, peaceful and democratic. Hence, he relaunched Operation “Sifflet” to signify the end of the presidential mandate as of December 19, 2016 at 23 hours 59 ’59’ ‘.

NOGEC is a pro-democracy citizen movement. For Constant Mutamba, the true democracy of a country is proved not only by a broad freedom of expression but also by a peaceful passing of power at the top of the state. As a result, according to the statements of this great pro-democracy fighter, it appears that the ultimate step, which can undoubtedly be to award R & D. Congo in the pantheon of the great nations, apart from its development, would indeed be a true democratic alternation at the level of the Institution President of the Republic. “On December 19, 2016, date marking the end of the second and last five-year term of the Head of State, having passed, this means, mutatis mutandis, that Joseph Kabila is no longer, according to the Constitution, the President of the Republic. The fact that he did not submit his resignation, as the entire Congolese people would have wished, constitutes, for this purpose, a serious violation of the fundamental law of R & D. Congo. On this, Kabila presumably lost its legitimacy and legality, “says the president of NOGEC.

Anxious to see R & D. Congo becomes a respected and truly sovereign country, this activist, pointing out that it is not yet late to pull himself together, urges the President of the Republic has filed his resignation. In his opinion, “it is Joseph Kabila who has led the country into this impasse. To this end, the fact of seeing him remain at the palace of the nation is strongly condemnable “. Constant Mutamba, speaking of the dialogue of the Interdiocesan Center led by the bishops of the National Episcopal Conference of Congo -CENCO, stressed that the real discussions should be the management of the Res publica after the departure of the Head of the ” State. Which means, in his opinion, that the people must, above all, fight in this direction. And afterwards, give the ball to the camp of the true politicians of the country in order to find, after consultation, if need be, the person who will direct the transition. However, this propagandist of true democracy hammers that he and NOGEC will struggle, will demonstrate, … unceasingly until R & D. Congo will gain access to true democracy. This, according to his words, begins with an immediate alternation.

It was Monday, December 26, 2016 that Prince Willy Mishiki, the new Deputy Minister of Energy and Water Resources, normally arrived at his office located in the administrative building of the Régideso, located along the Boulevard du 30 juin, in The commune of La Gombe. President of the National Union of Nationalists and Coordinator of the political platform “Gathering signatory of the Political Agreement of October 18, 2016”, Prince Willy Mishiki has appropriated many residual difficulties to which the thousands of Congolese are confronted in the sector of Water and electricity. For this worthy son of North Kivu, each territory and city of the DRC must be served by electricity and drinking water. This, in his view, will have a significant positive impact on the economic life of the country, on the lives of children under five who die prematurely as a result of improper water use.

Although the time is too short, Prince Willy Mishiki, along with his minister Pierre Anatole Matusila, intend to innovate, according to their wisdom and intelligence. But now it is not a matter of suspicion but rather of the conviction that drives change. For him, indeed, the Congolese will have to wait and trust them. In 12 months already, he sees beautiful things happen in this great and beautiful country. “We will first make an inventory of what is at our disposal. Increasing attention should also be given to the private sector. Since it must be recognized that the State does not have much resources today to invest in this sector. Today we have a hundred or so hydraulic sites where we can erect dams or wind and solar power production, “he told media professionals. It adds that it is their responsibility to fund studies that are an important phase in the financing of any project. “Our goal today is to have electricity in every territory and every major city in this country. Really, it’s a big challenge. We only have 16 months, but hopefully in a year we can do something, “he believes.

Success Chance

He also argued that several studies have been carried out by their predecessors. “We know sites that reassure us that in every territory there is the possibility of producing electrical energy. And when we have electrical power, we are more likely to witness the emergence of secondary activities whose success depends largely on electricity and water. In Katanga, for example, most mining companies import electricity from Zambia. While in the country, we can save these currencies and increase production. Some miners have reported to us that if they have a very good electrical current, 24 hours a day, they would increase the production capacity. Given that the electrification sector has already been privatized, it can now boost the economy of the DRC, “he said.

Potential investors

In his keynote speech, Prime Minister Samy Badibanga highlighted the importance of public private partners in the success of the transitional government. It is therefore imperative that partners support the heavy responsibility of Minister Pierre Anatole Matusila and his deputy minister, Prince Willy Mishiki. It is in this capacity that the latter has returned to this strategic point. He said: “We can produce our current here and we sell it outside with the help of international and domestic investors. They must only be encouraged to come and invest in the country. Energy is one of the weapons that the government is going to use to shoot down titanic work. Prime Minister Samy Badibanga made it one of his priorities. Our commitment with Minister Matusila will precisely enter into the framework of the social Congolese in order to improve their living conditions through our sector.

Message

He called the people to patience. “I believe that the population has followed the government’s program discourse and understood that Prime Minister Samy Badibanga has a good faith to fulfill the missions assigned to him. Our people have to be patient, because in order to achieve our vision, we will sometimes have to make rigorous decisions. Free maternity-related costs are possible. We have neighboring countries that do. We can cite Angola and Rwanda, “he said. He returned the ball to the level of politicians who must be animated by good faith and political will. “We realized that you can not produce without being healthy. That is why, in the water sector, we will do all we can to innovate and make quality work for our people. We thank the Prime Minister who has included in his program free health care for children under 5 years of age. It will help parents take care of other things instead of worrying too much about spending money on children’s health, “he reassured.

The father of the church in Kinshasa, Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya, invited the Congolese in general and the political actors, in particular, to engage in a peaceful approach. He had also said his vows and wishes from heaven to the birth of Christ. He spoke thus, in his usual homily said on the occasion of Christmas. For Laurent Monsengwo, the peace of Christmas excludes assassinations, killings and violence. It involves justice, love, truth, without which one exposes oneself to discontent, frustration, trouble, if not riots, contrary to social harmony, indispensable to reconciliation. “He who respects the Constitution has nothing to fear from justice,” he chanted. This very political homily has aroused many passions in public opinion. In terms of reactions, there is that of Lambert Mende Omalanga, Government Spokesman, Minister of Communication and Media. He said it in an interview given to the confrères d’actualité.cd. For Lambert Mende, Cardinal Monsengwo addressed the Catholics who were in the church. For him, it is a non-event.

Words that divide

The Archbishop of Kinshasa had not mentioned any name of a political actor in his words. Rather, it is political analysts who index power or the radical Opposition. Indeed, paragraphs 7 and 9 of this homily contain problem words which give rise to heated debates in the Congolese political agora. In particular, “the fact of taking power by arms does not justify that one can leave it only by the arms”, “It is revolu the time when we took the power by the arms, “The days when we sought to preserve power by arms, by killing its people, those young people who only claim their rights to live a little more worthily! Let us take care, my brothers and sisters, for “Whoever kills by the sword shall perish by the sword” (Mt 26: 52).

Minister Mende believes that “the Cardinal talks about people who want to take power by force. We saw it in December of this year. It is a principle of political morality and life. We can not seize power by force. We do not have a problem with this recommendation of the Cardinal, “he added.

Call to the Congolese

“The peace of Christmas is for all without exception, because it is destined for all those whom God loves. It is the peace of hearts, and the peace of spirits; Peace which signifies bodily integrity, but which above all speaks of an integral soul, in communion with God and in search of God and eternal goods. It is right to take into account the call of Pope Francis, when he exhorts all Congolese to be craftsmen of reconciliation and peace and that all those with political responsibilities listen to the way of Their own conscience, knowing to see the cruel sufferings of their compatriots and having at heart the common good, “recalled Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo.

Steve Mbikayi Mabuluki is the new Patron of Primary and Vocational Education. He officially took office on December 23, 2016 after the handover with Professor Theophile Mbemba. The new Minister certainly does not have an easy task. The majority of students do not give him enough luck especially that it is not a Professor. Prosperity, in its mission to search information at the source went to Universities and Higher Institutes to exchange with a sample of students about their expectations with respect to the new Minister of Higher Education and University. It should be recalled that the micro-walkman was made, among others, at the National Pedagogical University, UPN in acronym; The Higher Institute of Applied Techniques, ISTA; The Higher Institute of Commerce, ISC; The Institut Supérieur Pédagogique de la Gombe, ISP Gombe; And the Faculty Institute of Information and Communication Sciences, IFASIC. In light of these exchanges, it is necessary to say that Steve Mbikayi will have to do everything possible to not only clean up his sector but also to fight corruption that has taken up residence in higher education. With regard to the interventions of the students, three things returned in their words. They expect the new Minister to be rigorous in decision-making, determination to fight all forms of corruption and, finally, a desire to clean up the sector. Although the new minister is known to the majority of students, it is rather his management and leadership skills that many are unaware of.

Through T-N, 20-year-old Graduate Student, option management information at the SAI describes the new Minister in these terms: “Personally, I often see it on television. I know he’s a politician because he makes statements, but I do not know if he will live up to this great world. What I can ask him is to work for the welfare of the students and not the politicians because he is our Minister. He must do everything possible to find solutions to our problems. Today, especially we girls have a serious problem with regards to our success. I have just arrived at the University, but we are learning a lot about odds. When a Teacher wants you, you are obliged to give in to the risk of not succeeding in his course. What will happen if the same professor gives a course of great weight? There is all the risk either of resuming the year, or of falling squarely on its course. Or better to yield his body to the benefit of odds. So, like a father of a family, the Minister must also secure us. ”

For his part, H-N, G1 electronic at ISTA, 23 years, the new Minister must militate to equip students with sophisticated instruments of practice. “Today there are new information and communication technologies, but our country is struggling to adapt. Everything changes, including training and even teachings, but at home the Professor, Heads of Works and Assistants stagnate. We are taught with syllabuses 20 years old or more. Syllabuses that are the same age as us. We see that there is no effort on the part of the teacher in terms of their own upgrading. We believe that during his term of office the Minister will also advocate for the upgrading of professors and, above all, insist that the various courses taught in the academic world be adapted to the reality and even the evolution of the world in the field of education. ‘Education’.

Sarah L-, L2 Commercial Sciences, Gombe Superior Pedagogical Institute, 26 years: “Before going elsewhere, Minister Steve Mbikayi must begin with corruption. This is the very basis of everything. We have realized that in Higher Education and Universities we do not pass classes because we are intelligent, but rather because we have money, because we are easily manipulable when we are ” Acts of a woman. And above all, because one can easily render sexual services to different Teachers or Teachers. There is also this case of the obligation to purchase syllabuses. Therefore, it is difficult or impossible to succeed in a course when you have not bought the syllabus or without paying the copyright. It is not intelligence that is lacking, but the means. Hence, you will realize that those who finish school today do not have a high standard, they rather have money to corrupt. I even think that is the main cause of unemployment in our country. ”

Elvis M., G3 IFASIC, 24: “The truth is that the new Minister does not have the easy task especially with regard to corruption in academic circles. In our Universities and Superior Institutes everything is bought, nothing is free while we pay academic fees each year. One pays the Syllabus, Interrogations, TP, collections, papers, sometimes even places to put themselves. And then, it must make an effort to stabilize academic fees in all public universities. What explains why the SAI pays more than the UPN? Why does UNILU pay more than the University of Kinshasa when we all know that these two universities belong to the State? I know that this new government does not have a long life, but we are asking Minister Steve Mbikayi to go straight to find solutions in academia. It will be necessary to think of the problem of elastic years in certain universities of which UNIKIN “.

Noëlla T-, L1 UPN, 28: “I have learned that he is the promoter of a great international school, I am counting on him to improve teaching at the university level. I do not want to be severe with him because I know that to fight baseness, we must start with the base, that is, the primary school. So I suggest that he talk to his colleague at the EPSP to solve this problem at the primary school level, so at university everything will go well, and even very well. The Minister should also draw the ears of professors, if necessary sanction them with regard to corruption. In view of what I am wasting, I am obliged to bring at least 10,000 FC each day to buy syllabuses, TP, Interrogations, etc. Why can the State not ensure that Syllabuses are free? I believe that this is not a problem of means, but rather of will. And we count on the Minister to make this dream come true soon. ”

MM-Gabrielle, G3 communication UPN, 21: “I suggest that the new minister can make the rounds from time to time to make himself aware of what students call academic realities. In vain, if he does not realize the suffering of the students, it is useless. Because corruption has taken up residence, no matter what day he decides to come, he will always find antivaleurs here. It’s shameful to say it, but we have no other choice, higher education is polluted to the spinal cord. The Professors consider the University as a business. Let’s calculate, we are 1200 students in an audience, and the lab sells at 500FC, when you do the mathematical exercise, you’ll quickly realize that for a single audience, the Professor or CT reaches 600,000 CFF per day. We urge the Minister to carry out, without delay, raids on the ground. ”

In view of these different interventions, the ESU Patron can already measure the responsibility of his mission and understand the extent to which students need his rapid reaction to several ills that corrode university education. Moreover, it should be noted that Steve MBKAYI is the man of position and he can change things. It is also the man of difficult conditions, it is present where no one sees it coming, and active where everyone has failed.
