Posting this article as the last few sentences are particularly of interest to me. Yes the PM has a dodgy history and was appointed by Felix to end some power wars and form Government. Snake for sure IMO.
PS. Doesn’t the PM and Princess make a lovely power couple.

In his speech, the Head of Government congratulated the Minister of State in charge of the Portfolio, Adèle Kahinda Mayina, and all the members of the said Commission for downed Work. He also welcomed the relevance of the recommendations made by this Interinstitutional Commission, which, according to him, meet the "People First" vision advocated by President Félix Tshisekedi.
Among the recommendations made and which will lead to the payment of state claims due to the Régie de Distribution d'Eau (REGIDESO) and the Société Nationale d'Électricité (SNEL), the Minister of the Portfolio said she noted "with satisfaction" the urgency of the signing of the interministerial decree to determine the eligibility criteria for the assumption by the Public Treasury of
- The outright removal of the notion of entitled person;
- The payment by beneficiaries of housing at the expense of the Public Treasury, bills for their water and electricity consumption;
- The failure of the Public Treasury to cover the water and electricity consumption of buildings housing political institutions, public services and public institutions under the provinces and decentralized territorial entities (TDS);
- The unequivocal fixing of the list of beneficiaries of the coverage of water and electricity consumption.
In addition, Princess Adèle Kahinda Mayina praised the quality and reliability of the results of the said work of the Joint Technical Commission.
It should be noted that this Commission was composed in particular of delegates from the Presidency, the Primature, the Ministries of Budget, Finance, Portfolio and Hydraulic Resources, and the Superior Council of the Portfolio. It was created since September 2015, on the initiative of the Prime Minister who instructed the Ministry of the Portfolio to set up a regular cross-payment mechanism for reciprocal debts and debts between the State and these Portfolio companies.
