Referendum in DR Congo: Joseph Nkoy defends a law intended to 'allow the people to express themselves'

National deputy Joseph Nkoy Wembo defends the proposed law on organizing a referendum, adopted on June 9 by the National Assembly. He argues that the text meets a legal necessity by providing a legal framework for the people to exercise their right to a referendum, rejecting opposition fears of constitutional changes. He downplays the absence of opposition deputies during the vote and urges attention to security challenges in eastern DR Congo.
