DRC Justice Minister Arrest

from African Dialogue · host Channel Africa

The Democratic Republic of Congo’s justice minister, Célestin Tunda ya Kasende, was released from custody hours after his arrest in the capital Kinshasa. Sources say the arrest comes after the clash between Tunda and President Felix Chisekedi over changes to judicial reforms which some see influenced by former President Joseph Kabila. The controversial reforms include proposals to define the powers of judges, which critics said is a ploy to muzzle the judiciary. They were put forward by the Common Front for Congo (FCC). * Nixon Katembo Tasakana Channel Africa journalist * Kambale MusavuliCentre for Research on the Congo
