Vital Kamerhe
Vital Kamerhe is a Congolese politician. He is currently the President of the National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of the Congo; previously he served in the government as Minister of Information.
After President Joseph Kabila allowed Rwandan troops to enter eastern Congo, Kamerhe criticized Kabila[1] in an interview on Radio Okapi on 21 January 2009. The pro-Kabila Alliance for the Presidential Majority (AMP) subsequently called for Kamerhe to resign as President of the National Assembly on 27 February 2009.[2] He remained President of the National Assembly when Parliament held an opening session on 16 March 2009; in protest, the AMP boycotted the session, and only opposition deputies participated.[3]
