Addressing the aspect of ethics and public morality, Professor Michel Bisa Kibul was called upon to answer the assistant's questions on this topic. In his response, the latter criticized the 82 national deputy candidates whose votes were invalidated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) for, among other things, electoral fraud, illegal possession of voting machines, acts of vandalism against CENI materials and agents.
“The ethical crisis is serious [...] It’s even more serious when it is observed at the level of the elite. Politics is the most serious matter in a state, so serious that it should not be left in the hands of the immoral, in the hands of people who can steal or cheat. Elsewhere, several people who had access to voting machines should commit suicide,” declared Professor Michel Bisa.
However, he paid tribute to the president of the CENI, Denis Kadima, for having the courage to penalize the alleged cheating candidates.
“There should be trials on the spot. But there weren't any. Fortunately, the president of the CENI had to take action. But it should have started within the judicial institutions,” he stated.
Michel Bisa also advocates for social sanctions against deputy candidates who stole voting machines to garner illicit votes.
“This is why I congratulated the president of the CENI. The sanctions must also be social. I saw a child at a university where I teach, her father had made a sextape, and one day, the girl was caught in the shower trying to commit suicide because her classmate had reminded her that her father's sex had circulated on social networks,” he reported.
This teacher believes that social structures, particularly the family, national education, and the church should question themselves in the face of the moral and ethical crisis that the Democratic Republic of Congo is going through.
