Is Joseph Kabila about to lose his immunity from prosecution?

It’s more than six years since Joseph Kabila stepped down as President of the Democratic Republic of Congo…handing over power to Felix Tshisekedi.

And yet Mr Kabila’s presence still looms large over politics in the country.

On Thursday the Senate in the DRC began to examine an indictment request against Mr Kabila.

On today’s episode, a senior member of Mr Kabila’s party responds to the prospect of him losing immunity. And helps us get to the bottom of reports that he has returned to the country.

Francine Muyumba is a member of Mr Kabila’s People’s Party for the Reconstruction and Democracy, a lawyer and former Senator herself.
