The Congolese National Assembly has delayed the debate on the proposed amendment to the judicial law to September 2020; this is due to the fact that the current parliamentary session is near completion.
Already the Parliament's Political Administrative and Legal Commission has approved the proposed amendment, initiated by Parliamentarians Aubin Minaku and Garry Sakata, for debate in the legislature
Both Minaku and Sakata are hoping that the delay in the debate will provide further opportunity for them to explain to various structures who fear that such law will pose a threat to the independence of the judiciary.
The two members of the Common Front for Congo (FCC) want to see changes on among other things , the law that governs the functions, organisation and competency of the courts; and the law on the function of the Superior Council of the magistrates .
During his telelevised address, to mark 60 years of the country's independence, President Felix Tshisekedi made a strong commitment to prevent any law that will affect the independent of the judiciary.
