This is apparent from the order n ° 019/064 of May 31, 2019 taken by the Head of State, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. In this national order, the deceased was elevated to the rank of Grand Cordon, the highest rank for the time being, and was awarded the National Hero Medal.
This rise rewards honorary Prime Minister Etienne Tshisekedi for his long, heroic and painful struggle at the height of the dictatorship for the establishment of the rule of law in the DRC, respectful of human rights and anxious to engage in the effort for social progress.
According to some political analysts contacted by digitalcongo.net, it is not excluded in view of its exceptional journey that Dr. Etienne Tshisekedi is rewarded with the title of national hero that holds so far Laurent-Désiré Kabila and Patrice Emery Lumumba, both of happy memory.
This elevation belongs to Parliament alone and is a process. A member of parliament or a senator must initiate a bill that will be put to a vote in Parliament.
