Evolution of the administrative power of the President of the RD Congo (in English)
Synopsis "Evolution of the administrative power of the President of the RD Congo (in English)"
The Head of State, source of all authority. In a State, there is no authority, not even judicial, that is not conferred and maintained by the Head of State," said Charles De Gaulle. Why are certain decisions by the Head of State, the country's highest administrative authority, not implemented? Have the various political upheavals that nearly swept away the Congolese political system eroded the administrative power of the Head of State? In our search for answers to these questions, we set out to decipher the various supervisory powers vested in the Head of State, in the light of the political vicissitudes generated by the political arrangements resulting from negotiations or, better still, political conciliabula. In fact, the decrees and orders issued by the Head of State have sometimes gone unheeded, despite the worrying situation on the ground. Strange as it may seem, multiparty politics, accompanied by the arrival of political opponents on the scene, has certainly led to the disarticulation of political organization, without reducing the Head of State's supervisory role.
