RD CONGO-Senate: Debat sur la constitution (Debate on the Constitution)

(From Africatime.com, article in French/article en Francais)
Sénat : faire montre de sagesse (Senate should display wisdom)
It warms my heart that our politicians are - for once - showing some will to deal with the problems of the country. Even though some sources do tell me that many are using this debate on the constitution simply to land themeselves deals, and positions in the future aparatus; but at least we are working on our constitution, the first true one in 40+ years. And the debates seem to be on healthy and worthy topics, as opposed to petty matters like in Sun City, and it was really about time. Now, let's wait and see where they take this...

Cela me touche le coeur que nos politiciens - pour une fois - montre une volonté de se mettre a la tache pour remedier aux problemes du pays. Meme si mes sources m'indiquent que beaucoup utilisent ces debats sur la constitution pour essayer de s'assurer des roles dans l'appareil institutionel qui va en naitre; au moins ils travaillent sur notre constitution, la premiere vraie constitution en 40+ ans. . Et les debats ont l'air de porter sur des sujets serieux et dignes de debats, et non des sujets insignifiants et mesquins comme a Sun City, et il en etait plus que temps. Bien! Maintenant on observe et on voit ou ca va...
