I believe that what's much more important is not what you say, but what you do. And I am a doer.
Joseph KabilaYou can organize elections any day, even tomorrow. But what will be the result of chaotic elections? More chaos!
Joseph KabilaNobody as of today can produce any oral or written statement from me talking about changing the constitution.
Joseph KabilaThe constitution is very clear as to how and when the president hands over power. He can only hand power over to an elected successor.
Joseph KabilaThe father of democracy is Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister after our independence, who was assassinated under conditions that to this day nobody can clearly understand. So, for me, this title is not the most important thing. You can go down in history as the father of democracy, but you can also go down as the person who brought about chaos just by stepping down.
