Conflicting decisions between, on the one hand, the National Assembly authorizing national deputies to be heard by the courts and, on the other hand, the Senate rejecting the waiver of the immunity of certain members of this House. Voices have been raised to mourn the scandal over senators’ attitudes that, according to some structures, have hampered justice.

For former Justice Minister Luzolo Bambi Lessa, the behavior of senators is a humiliation for the Congolese people. “To me, the Senate’s behavior is a denial of democracy. Because justice cannot stop at Parliament’s door. We are losing many billions, the people are in misery and the misery of the Congolese people is in contrast to the behavior of the Senate. “
Georges Kapiamba, president of Acaj, believes that the prosecutor of the Constitutional Court will be able to take advantage of Parliament’s recess to resume a new request for waiver of immunity to the Senate office. “We hope that the work that the prosecution will do soon will allow a new request to be made to the Senate so that the two senators who have been protected by their colleagues are required to appear before the prosecution.”
The National Assembly approved that two of its members: the former portfolio minister and a former member of the former prime minister’s cabinet be heard by Justice.
