With our correspondent in Kinshasa, Patient Ligodi

The leaders of political parties, deputies and senators were invited by the Prime Minister. To each delegation, Sama Lukonde presented the process that will lead to the formation of the new government.

He outlined the main pillars of his program, which center notably on securing the eastern part of the country and fighting poverty.

He also presented the criteria for being part of this team: morality, integrity, competence, experience and a clean criminal record are among the requirements of the new Prime Minister. He also announced to the leaders of political groupings that future ministers, once designated, will sign a code of ethics.

The political forces that make up the new majority are also called upon to present three candidates for each ministerial portfolio while taking into account the representation of vulnerable people, women and youth.

For this Monday, the Prime Minister notably met with the AFDC-A of Bahati Lukwebo.

These consultations will continue until next Saturday.
