provided in this jurisdiction was transferred to the prison Makala.Jusque 14 hours, the courthouse was enlivened by moving back and forth.
In a perfect working environment, Mr Kabengele, magistrate thirties era, writes as follows: "This attitude of putting people on strike is not a method to claim our rights. For this approach seeing things is likely to weaken the republic, "adding that" judges are able to defend themselves without resorting to strike. " According to the magistrate
Kasongo, "Law Minister Luzolo which aims to remove Office of the magistrates struck a conviction or imprisonment sow division in the profession. It is not normal for judges who have been convicted can no longer do their job. "
On the other hand, most offices of the Prosecutor of High Court judges have opened and there went about their business normally. Even finding to the Prosecutor General at the Court of Appeal of Kinshasa / Gombe.
For cons, the Court of Appeal, only one consultant was found on the workplace. He said he was not informed of the word order to stop work until the morning of that Monday when he was already in the workplace.
In the Supreme Court of Justice, judges have also attended to their business. At the entrance to the courtroom, we see that the word of the strike was not observed. Mr. Basilua, one of the judges of this court, lamented that "such a law could put the country in trouble.
For it is still unusual that judges are removed from the profession for convictions of order individual ". According to him, "a judge is not foolproof, because he is human."
