KINSHASA, 16 March, 2021 (TON): On Monday, the March parliamentary session began in Kinshasa as the DRC has been without a government for two months.

After the appointment of the new PM Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde who has yet to establish his cabinet, Monday’s session comes one month after.

However, in the wake of the challenges awaited by the new government, the president of the Senate recalled the urgency of this issue during yesterday’s session.

According to information from sources close to both the Prime Minister and President Félix Tshisekedi, it appears that the lineup of the new cabinet is to be announced this week.

Nevertheless, it remains unclear to many why the process has been dragging and for others, the idea of a government with 40 members is hardly feasible given the appetites and ambitions of the various political parties. However, several sources say that there are many differences over the distribution of ministerial posts.
