The FCC-CACH coalition, in power since January 2019, has finally found an agreement on the distribution of key ministerial positions. Negotiations undertaken by the two political families have only suffered bitter failures, according to some predictions.
The political terrain will no longer shake, if we believe the lucid minds, who believe that in the boat all citizens, without the effect of a probable failure of the formation of the Government, carrots are well cooked. The negotiators managed to get away with this question, which lent itself to uncertainty. And, rarely the Congolese political class would have been so in unison: the negotiations have reached a compromise, to defeat irresistible critics.
Sources from the Hotel du Fleuve, where negotiators from both sides met again Wednesday, June 19, 2019 to complete their political compromise, inform that the last points of the disagreement were ended. A consensus would then emerge around the sharing of the regal ministries that was, until a few days ago, the bottleneck of the work.
The two platforms have managed to agree on the distribution of the regal ministries as much as the government nomenclature has been discussed. The sovereignty ministries that were the subject of this concession concern, as a reminder, Justice, Defense and Foreign Affairs would be granted to the Cach while the Interior would remain for the FCC.
For the moment, the negotiations are at the stage of harmonizing the names that must occupy the different ministries. Delegates of the two political components discussed the work on the harmonization of the names of the facilitators of the Ilunga Ilunkamba Government ministries.
It is useful to know, from reliable sources, that this stage passed, the distribution of ministerial posts should normally be negotiated without a hitch. It would no longer be the key that gave 80% of departmental positions to the FCC, leaving the CACH only 20%. The distribution grid served as a basis for discussion at Kongo Central, which had hosted the first meetings. It would have been reduced to normal proportions without minimizing the balance of power.
From the foregoing, the smoke may be white in the next hours, in the absence of a disruptive element. It is also important to remember that the negotiators respectively delegated by the FCC and the CACH did this work, the result of which, better still, the last version, will be handed over to the Office of the Head of State for appointment.
At Hotel du Fleuve, Nehemiah Mwilanya, Aubin Minaku, Jaynet Kabila and Tambwe Mwamba represented the FCC in negotiations while-CACH by Kitenge Yezu, Francois Mwamba, Jean-Marc Kabund and Baudouin Mayo.
