During a recent live discussion, National Deputy Michel Moto Muhima expressed unwavering support for Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, describing his leadership as a transformative era for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The lawmaker argued that the current President has established himself as the most effective leader the nation has seen since it gained independence.

A record of unprecedented progress

Moto Muhima highlighted that in just six to seven years, the current administration has achieved more than what was accomplished in the preceding decades. He pointed to significant advancements across multiple sectors, including the economy, national security, social welfare, and international diplomacy. According to the deputy, the visible improvements in infrastructure and the political climate set this era apart from the eighteen years of the previous regime and the thirty-two years that came before it.

“One must acknowledge the impact of the man on his era,” the deputy noted, emphasizing that the statistics and physical developments speak for themselves. He specifically credited the President with sparking an economic boom that has revitalized local entrepreneurship, allowing Congolese businesses to thrive at an accelerated pace.

The path toward constitutional reform

While celebrating these successes, Michel Moto Muhima acknowledged that there is still work to be done. He suggested that to reach the next level of national development, the legal framework of the country must evolve. This led to his vocal support for a constitutional revision, which he believes would provide Félix Tshisekedi with the necessary tools to further his vision for the RDC.

The deputy proposed that the decision should ultimately rest with the citizens. He advocated for a referendum where the primary sovereign—the people—can cast their vote. Whether the public chooses to support or reject the changes, Moto Muhima stated that the outcome of such a democratic process would be respected as the definitive will of the nation.
