The opposition decided to vacate the chamber and not participate in the debate, after Francois Mwamba the MLC house keeper (since the arrest of Bemba he is conducting current affairs as dictated by Bemba from inside Schveningen’s cells) presented a procedural motion. This explains why the proposal went through without any resistance. <br /><br />However, some MPs from the majority have seen in Francois Mwamba the MLC a time waster. Some are even calling him “Lukong” by the name of the Cameroon goal keeper who became expert in time wasting to buy his team some time. They say he uses any opportunity to dramatise the differences in order to buy his boss (Bemba some time in case he can be freed before the elections) so that he can make a heroic comeback on the Congolese political scene.<br /><br />I have the majority argument concerning the Constitution’s Aticle 71 (relating to the presidential election in 2 rounds). It is quite long and didn’t get the time to summarise and translate it.<br /><br />I think J Kabila is just trying to use his majority now, before it is too late, to try and secure what he can before the big push comes to shelve.<br /><br />Affaire à suivre...Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301460106025447019noreply@blogger.com
